“Golden Individual Sponge Cakes”
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Instructions:
Preparing the Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour individual round cake molds or use non-stick spray.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should double in volume and be pale in color.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients to the egg mixture in thirds, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Drizzle in the melted butter and fold gently until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
Baking:
- Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the molds for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Suggestions:
These sponge cakes are delicious on their own or can be enhanced with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries for added sweetness and color.
Conclusion:
These individual sponge cakes are a perfect treat for any occasion. Their light, airy texture and buttery flavor make them a delightful dessert that’s not too heavy. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best experience!
