INGREDIENTS:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the bottom of a round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the sugar.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together on medium-high speed for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture is thick, pale, and has tripled in volume.
- Sift the flour into the egg mixture in small batches. Gently fold the flour into the batter using a spatula, making sure not to overmix. Be careful to fold in the flour thoroughly but gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.
- Once the flour is fully incorporated, pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can serve the sponge cake as is or frost it with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or your favorite frosting.
