Steps:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Whisk the Eggs & Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for 5-7 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and pale. This step is essential for creating the airy texture of the sponge.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Fold in the Dry Ingredients:
Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg and sugar mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter; use slow, gentle motions.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until fully combined.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool & Serve:
