This is a plain Vanilla sponge cake. If the cake is made for some special occasion, then it can be decorated with chocolate syrup, choco chips, nuts or readily available topping mix. For making Chocolate sponge cake, you just have to replace 100 gms of flour with 100 gms of cocoa powder.
Ingredients
150 gms Butter
150 gms Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
Cardamom powder (2)
2 Eggs
1 tbsp Baking Powder
Cashews and raisins (Optional)
Directions - How to make
Preheat the oven at 190 C.
Blend all the ingredients together in a large bowl one by one. Start with the butter and sugar, eggs, baking powder, cardamom powder, nuts and finally the flour. Make sure the batter is smooth and of right consistency but not watery. If it is bit dry, one can add little cold water. Finally add the vanilla essence and mix well.
Pour the batter in a greased baking pan. Place the pan at the centre of the oven. It takes around 15-20 minutes. Once the cake puffs up and the sides turn brown, insert a knife and check if the knife comes out without sticking. If it does not stick, the cake is ready and it can be taken off from the oven. Cut it into small pieces and store in an airtight container. It can be kept for 2-3 days.
