Easy Sponge Cake

A very common type of cake that would taste awesome if it comes out perfectly and sometines be an epic failure too. So dont take this one lightly. Confront it with a lot of patience and the rest is luck.  I like the egg flavour in a sponge cake the most. So I always try to put more eggs in it. The same can be made without eggs too. So get set. Cook.

Ingredients

3 large eggs
170gm self rising flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar)
3/4 cup margarine or soft butter
1 rounded teaspoon baking powder
Few drops vanilla extract

Method

Whisk together sifted sugar and margarine/butter with an electric whisk until soft and creamy

To the butter and sugar mixture add all other ingredients (sifted flour and baking powder)
Whisk the mixture again until it has all come together, forming a thick creamy batter. If your mixture does not fall off the back of a spoon easily - add a few drops of milk or water to slacken it to a thick but pourable consistency.
Pour the mixture into a pre-lined pan, level the top roughly
Place the cake in the middle of the oven at 170 celsius  for 30-35 minutes - Do not open the oven before thirty minutes.
If the cake is ready it should spring to the touch if you press it lightly on the top with one finger. If not, return to the oven for a few minutes then check again.
Take the cake is out of the oven, wait a few minutes for the tin to cool down. Carefully turn it out of its tin on a cooling rack until cool.
