Fluffy Vanilla Sponge Cake
This delightful sponge cake is steamed to perfection, yielding a soft texture that melts in your mouth. Perfectly flavored with vanilla, it's a comforting dessert without the need for an oven or electric mixer.
Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 80g (2/3 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 30ml (2 tbsp) milk
- 20g (1.5 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
Cooking Instructions:
Prepare a steamer by filling it with water and bringing it to a boil. If you don't have a steamer, you can create a makeshift steamer using a large pot and a heatproof dish placed on a rack inside.
In a large mixing bowl, separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar (50g) and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and creamy.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the remaining sugar (50g) while whisking until soft peaks form. This will add the fluffiness to the cake.
Gently fold the flour and baking powder into the yolk mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
Gradually fold in the milk and melted butter into the yolk mixture until well combined.
Carefully fold in the whipped egg whites a third at a time, ensuring not to deflate the mixture. This step is crucial for achieving that light texture.
Pour the batter into a heatproof mold or a baking dish that fits into your steamer. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the mold in the steamer (once boiling) and cover with a lid. Steam for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Once done, carefully remove the cake from the steamer and let it cool slightly before inverting onto a plate.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delightful fluffy vanilla sponge cake!
