Ingredients for All In One Sponge Cake

  • Butter
  • 1 cup (200g) caster sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • Self Raising Flour
  • Baking Powder

How to Make All In One Sponge Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake tins with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (see below) and beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly blended and smooth (about 2 minutes).
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cakes spring back when lightly touched.
  5. Let the cakes cool in the tins for 5 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack.
  6. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and let the cakes cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, level the tops of the cakes if necessary to ensure even layers.
  8. Spread your favorite filling between the cake layers.
  9. Dust the top with powdered sugar for a delightful finishing touch.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
