Ingredients
Scale
- 6 eggs
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 220 g sugar
- 280 g flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (level)
Instructions
- Separate the eggs from any shells if necessary, and place all 6 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the packet of vanilla sugar and the 220 grams of sugar to the eggs. Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the mixture continuously for a full 30 minutes. This prolonged whisking incorporates a significant amount of air into the batter, which is essential for achieving a light and fluffy sponge cake base. The mixture should become pale, thick, and mousse-like in texture by the end of this process.
- While the eggs and sugar are whisking, sift the 280 grams of flour thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Combine the sifted flour with the 2 teaspoons of baking powder and mix them evenly.
- Once the egg and sugar mixture has been whisked for 30 minutes and is light and voluminous, gently fold in the flour and baking powder mixture. Use a spatula to carefully incorporate the dry ingredients by folding them in with gentle, sweeping motions. This helps retain the airiness of the batter and prevents it from deflating.
- Prepare a springform pan by greasing its sides thoroughly with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Then, line the bottom of the pan with a round piece of baking paper cut to fit perfectly. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the springform pan, spreading it gently with a spatula if needed to ensure an even surface.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). Place the springform pan with the batter on the middle rack of the oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent the sponge from collapsing. After 50 minutes, check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out clean or with a few dry crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the sponge cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then carefully release the springform and transfer the cake onto a cooling rack to cool completely before further use.
Notes
The key secret of this recipe lies in whisking the eggs and sugar for a full 30 minutes. This extensive whisking process incorporates enough air into the batter to make the sponge base wonderfully light and fluffy. It is important not to shorten this step. Also, gently folding in the flour mixture is critical to maintain the airiness achieved.
