How to Make Sponge Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks until pale yellow and lemon-colored.
- Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the egg yolks, beating until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, gently fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, a little at a time, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 6 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
