The plain vanilla sponge done perfectly — the base every baker should own. A tender, bakery-style crumb that stays moist for days. Keeps well covered for three days — if it lasts that long.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Heavy Cream1/4 cup
Salta pinch
Eggs4
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract2 cups, chopped

Instructions

1
Set the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the base of your tin with parchment.
2
Whisk the butter, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.
4
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.
5
Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
