    I was looking for a simple best sponge cake recipe for a while now. Finally a good friend gave me this recipe. And it is one of the easiest sponge cake you could ever make. You can use this as a snack cake or make it as layer cakes for fresh cream cakes too.

    This particular recipe is a small batch, since it was my first attempt i used just 2 eggs to make this. But next time i will try making a bigger batch and share different flavour of this cake too.

    What makes a sponge cake light and fluffy?

    Whipping the eggs till fluffy and light is key in making a good sponge cake.

    How to make best sponge cake?

    I use oil for making sponge cake moist. You can use melted butter instead of oil.

    Can we over bake sponge cake?

    Don't over bake sponge cake. If you over bake it will turn dry. So bake it just right. Also if you over bake sponge cake, you can make it moist by brushing it with some simple syrup.

      The Best sponge cake recipe. I made this cake (April 17th) as soon as you uploaded it in your vlog. It turned out super soft n fluffy. Everyone loved it. Usually, I make sponge for fresh cream cakes in this method only but the measurements are different. But this one is the best. Thank you so much aarthi.
