Vanilla Sponge Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a cake tin with a little oil or line it with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, sift together the maida, baking soda, and baking powder to ensure there are no lumps.

3. 3

   In another bowl, mix the oil and sugar until well combined. Add the vanilla essence and mix again.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix gently to form a smooth batter.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. 7

   Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. 8

   Serve the vanilla sponge cake as is or with your favorite frosting or toppings.
