Cake Boss Sponge Cake image

I am a big fan of cooking shows, especially those on baking. I found this recipe a few months ago from Cake Boss & now it's all I use for my sponge cakes. The secret to this cake being Light & Fluffy is the beating of the eggs. Don't rush that step.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large eggs at room temp
2 c white granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c whole milk
1/4 c unsalted or lightly salted butter
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (use 3/8 tsp if using unsalted butter)

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl (with paddle attachment if possible) for 4 minutes. Do not shorten the time.
  • 2. Add sugar and continue beating for another 4 - 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and stir on low just until combined.
  • 3. In a separate, sift together dry ingredients. Add to eggs and sugar on low speed just until combined.
  • 4. In a saucepan (or microwave) heat milk and butter just until the butter is melted. Add to batter, beat just until combined.
  • 5. Pour into two greased and floured 8" pans.
  • 6. Bake at 325 about 33 - 35 mins or until the middle springs back when touched, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 7. Remove from oven and let stand in pans for 10 mins. Then turn out onto a wire cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.
