Remember that when baking cakes, everything matters, right from how you fold the batter to the temperature of the oven. So, follow the instructions of Indian style vanilla sponge cake carefully. When folding the batter, remember to mix in only one direction.

One more important thing to remember in vanilla sponge cake using eggs is to not over mix or over beat the eggs and to add a little flour with the eggs so as to prevent them from curdling.

Also, make sure you sift the flour well. This step is very important as it makes the vanilla sponge cake using eggs light and airy.

After adding the eggs make sure you add a tbsp of flour, as said in the vanilla sponge cake using eggs recipe as this prevents curdling of the batter. While adding the remaining flour to the batter, use the cut and fold method to retain the aeration. After pouring the batter in the greased and dusted tin, put it to bake immediately in a pre-heated oven.

    2. Beating of the butter with an electric beater and then adding the sugar is important to make the cake fluffy.

    6. After pouring the batter in the greased and dusted tin, put it to bake immediately in a pre-heated oven.
    7. Start checking the cake about 5-7 minutes before the suggested bake time. Remove from the oven and keep aside to cool slightly. The cake is cooked when it looks well risen and golden on top.
    8. For best results, before cutting into wedges leave the cake on the kitchen counter for 6-8 hours before using in a cake or applying the frosting. This will reduce the amount of crumbling when you go ahead to split the cake layer in two horizontally.
       
Batter for sponge cake

 

    1. To make the batter for vanilla sponge cake using eggs recipe | rich vanilla sponge cake | basic vanilla sponge cake | Indian style vanilla sponge cake | place a sieve on the bowl. Measure out all the other ingredients and have them ready to use.
    2. Place the plain flour on the sieve.
    3. Add baking powder. It is a leavening agent used to give the sponge cake rise.
    4. Sift the maida and baking powder together in the deep bowl and keep aside. This will remove any lumps and impurities from the flour before it incorporates into the batter.
    5. In another deep bowl, add butter at room temperature. It is important for all the ingredients to be at room temperature ingredients so they emulsify better.
    6. Cream the butter in a bowl with an electric beater for 1 minute. If you do not have an electric beater then make use of a wire whisk but it would be a tedious task.
    7. Add sugar and cream it with an electric beater for 2 to 3 minutes till it is light and fluffy.
    8. Add one egg. Eggs help in making the sponge cake airy and light.
    9. Also, add 1 tbsp of the sifted flour mixture.
    10. Beat with an electric beater till the egg is just mixed. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
    11. Repeat steps 8 and 9 2 more times.
    12. Beat with an electric beater till the egg is just mixed. It's important not to beat the batter too much, mix just long enough to make it smooth.
    13. Add the remaining flour.
    14. Add vanilla essence and pour milk. Look for high-quality vanilla to make good quality vanilla sponge cake. You may need 1 more tbsp of milk.
    15. Fold everything gently using a spatula until well mixed and until no streaks of liquid are seen. Over-folding causes severe deflation of eggs so, just fold enough to combine. You will knock out all the air and land up with a dense sponge cake.
    16. Beat with an electric beater for 30 seconds to mix uniformly. If you feel like the beater is going to be too damaging to the cake mixture, please by all means fold it in by hand. Our batter for vanilla sponge cake with eggs is ready!
How to make vanilla sponge cake

 

    1. To bake vanilla sponge cake using eggs | rich vanilla sponge cake | basic vanilla sponge cake | Indian style vanilla sponge cake | grease a 175 mm. (7") diameter cake tin with butter or oil.
    2. Line it with parchment paper or aluminium foil. Alternatively, you can brush butter on the inside of the cake tin, then dust it with flour, knocking out the excess to make the surface non-stick.
    3. Pour the vanilla sponge cake batter into it and smoothen the top.
    4. Bake vanilla sponge cake in a preheated oven at 180ºC (360ºF) for 50 minutes. Settings for each oven is different but don't be tempted to open the oven before 40 minutes or else it will fall flat. Start checking the cake about 5-7 minutes before the suggested bake time.Remove from the oven and keep aside to cool slightly. The cake is cooked when it looks well risen and golden on top.
    5. Another test to check if the vanilla sponge cake has cooked well or no is to insert a skewer into the centre of the cake - it should come out clean. You can also bake the vanilla sponge cake in a microwave or pressure cooker, to learn how, check out this Microwave Vanilla Sponge Cake or Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake ( Pressure Cooker).
    6. Gently run a knife around the edge and turn the basic vanilla cake out of the mould and use as required.
    7. For best results leave the cake on the kitchen counter for 6-8 hours before using in a cake or applying the frosting. This will reduce the amount of crumbling when you go ahead to split the cake layer in two horizontally.

This recipe has been tried and tested in our kitchen twice. Oven to oven baking time and temperature differs, so you can try by reducing the baking time to 20 to 25 minutes. Also make sure you have used the exact size of tin as that also leads to a raw or a burnt cake.

Hi Sadhana, the cake batter consistency should be of dropping consistency, you can always adjust it by adding or subtracting of the milk in the batter. One more thing, the quality of the plain flour differs from place to place. Do try it again and share your feedback. Happy Cooking!!!

We tried this yesterday, first time baking. The steps are clear and easy to follow and the result was delicious - fluffy, soft and moist. Thank you. It was an absolute delight to do this. 2 questions - how long do we pre heat for and is it at the same temp. How do we get the brown crusting on top? Ours just crusted in the side.

You have to pre-heat on the same temperature i.e 180?C (360?F) for a minimum of 10 minutes. There are multiple reasons affecting the brown crust. Make sure your oven''s temperature is accurate, the ingredients are of high quality, aluminium pans are best for even baking and place the tin in centre of the oven.

Easy to make and very yummy. I used pineapple essence since I did not have vanilla essence at home. I made pineapple butter icing on the top of this cake which really added more taste to this cake. Tarla, Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe. Foodies - Use the exact measurement for ingredients. This cake receipe batter is little thick compared to other recipes.

I tried making cakes few times before but it never came satisfactorily good. Yesterday I read your recipe and followed it thoroughly except the part of electric beater and oven. I used only hand whisker and baked it in pressure cooker. And for the first time this cake make me so happy. It came out so soft. My family loved it too. It was awesome. Thanks to you and your recipe. Love and regards Aparajita
