Airy sponge cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make an airy sponge cake for a cake? Prepare everything you need for this. Sift the flour through a sieve in advance to saturate it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the finished products become even more magnificent. I use category C1 eggs. Bring the water to a boil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Break the eggs into a mixing bowl and begin beating them at low speed.

3. STEP 3

   

   Gradually add sugar to the eggs. Continue beating at maximum speed.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the eggs with sugar for a few minutes until you get this airy mass. The whipping time will depend on the power of your mixer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add flour, baking soda and vanilla to the beaten eggs. Gently knead the dough so that the fluffiness does not fall off.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then stir boiling water and vegetable oil into the dough.

7. STEP 7

   

   For baking, it is convenient to use a springform baking dish (18 cm). Line the bottom of the pan with parchment and press it into the sides of the pan. Pour the prepared dough into the mold. Roll the pan with the dough slightly in one direction so that the dough is distributed more evenly. Thanks to this, the biscuit will not rise in a mound when baking.

8. STEP 8

   

   Bake the biscuit in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Be guided by your oven. Remove the finished biscuit from the mold by running a sharp knife around the edges. Let it cool, turning it occasionally to keep it from becoming soggy on the bottom. To prepare the cake, the sponge cake must be allowed to rest. Wrap the cooled biscuit in cling film and refrigerate overnight. In this form it can be stored for 3-5 days.

9. STEP 9

   

   The sponge cake turns out airy, soft and very tasty! Cook for your health!

I decided to make a delicious biscuit for a child without any additions or creams. I liked the recipe for an airy sponge cake for a cake, but decided not to make it for a cake, but simply decorate it with powdered sugar. I took homemade eggs and beat them with a mixer with sugar as the author describes. Then I added the dry ingredients and stirred with a spatula using folding movements. At the end I added oil and water, although this was the first time for me and it was strange that I needed to add water to the dough and why. But I cooked it according to the recipe. I baked it in a mold with a diameter of 22 cm; I simply don’t have anything smaller. Cooked for 40 minutes. Immediately carefully removed from the mold, cooled and decorated with powder. It turned out so tall, tender, soft and very tasty. The child liked this airy biscuit. It's easy to prepare, and the results are amazing. We devoured it just like that. Delicious! I will cook this way again and recommend it to everyone! Many thanks to the author!!!

I baked a fluffy sponge cake for the cake using this recipe. I recalculated the number of products on the site’s calculator to get 13 servings. I needed a large cake, so I baked the sponge cake in a mold with a diameter of 26 cm. It turned out to be quite tall, I was able to cut it into 4 thin cake layers. I baked the biscuit in the evening so that it could rest overnight. I beat the eggs and sugar for a long time until the mixture noticeably thickened and brightened. I stirred in the flour with a spatula. After adding boiling water, the dough was quickly mixed with a whisk. It immediately bubbled. I did not grease the pan, but pressed the bottom with parchment. I baked it for 40 minutes at 180°C. The sponge cake is wonderful! It's juicy and I didn't even have to soak it! Smells very tasty! Soft, porous, easy to cut! Some advantages).
