PERFECT SPONGE CAKE

Among all the varieties of sponge cake i have tried,this was the most perfect one. This is a fusion of many recipes from different sites. It was a thrill to do such a try, but it did come out well. Iam sure every one likes it.

Ingredients

Egg-5
Sugar-1 cup
All purpose flour-1 cup
Butter(room temp)-6 tbsp (85gm)
Vanilla essence-2 tsp
Baking powder-1/2 tsp
Salt-a pinch

Method

1. In a large bowl (large enough for the mixing bowl to rest its base) heat 3 cups of water.

2. In a mixing bowl add the eggs and sugar

3. Keep it inside the hot water bowl and stir continuously till the eggs mix well and the sugar dissolves. This takes about 10 minutes

4. Take out the mixing bowl and start beating it with an electric beater till it becomes frothy. Start from low to high speed. This takes from 20 to 30 minutes.

5. Sift flour,salt and baking powder.

6. Once it is done fold in the above mixture little by little to the batter with a wooden spatula.

7. Mix butter and vanilla essence in a bowl.

8. Fold in this mixture to the batter.

9. Pour the batter in a greased cake pan

10. Bake the cake till a tooth pick comes out clean (about 15-20 min) in a preheated oven at 400 deg F.

The cake is done and when you piece them you'll see the real spongy texture of it. Enjoy!!!!
