Tetiana KoziukLS Food

A tall, fluffy, and soft sponge cake is every housewife's dream. Unfortunately, such pastries don't always turn out right the first time, even with proper preparation and proportions. Traditionally, sponge cake is made with well-whipped eggs and flour. But just imagine the taste and texture you'll get if you add butter and milk to the dough. The result will pleasantly surprise you.

Food blogger Khrystyna Kei (kristinakey.blog) shared a sponge cake recipe on her Instagram page that always turns out well.

Ingredients:

  • milk – 150 ml
  • butter – 120 g
  • flour – 80 g
  • sugar – 120 g
  • eggs – 8 pcs
  • vanilla sugar

Method of preparation:

1. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.

2. Add milk to it. Heat, but do not bring it to a boil.

3. Sift the flour into a deep bowl. Pour the milk mixture into it. Stir with a whisk.

4. Separate the whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to the batter and mix.

5. Mix sugar with vanilla sugar. Add to the whites and beat until thick foam.

6. Pour the whites into the batter in portions and mix lightly with a spatula. Knead very carefully, in one direction, while turning the plate in the opposite direction.

7. Pour the finished batter into a mold covered with parchment. Tap the mold on the table 3-4 times to spread the dough evenly.

8. Put the mold with the dough on a deep baking sheet and pour boiling water into the baking sheet so that the water covers the mold by about 3 centimeters.

9. Bake at 140 degrees for 75 minutes.
