Sponge cakes use beaten eggs instead of yeast to leaven them. Occasionally, baking powder is included to increase the volume. The rising agent of the beaten eggs gives the cake a light, fluffy texture.
After a stressful day, nothing is more soothing than indulging in a sweet treat. Anyone can prepare satisfying sweets that are easy to make with just a few basic steps. To be honest, there is no such thing as the perfect healthy meal—at least not if it really indulges our sweet taste.
1) Simple and Easy Victoria Sponge Cake
This traditional sponge cake recipe is extremely soft and fluffy, making it ideal for topping with jam and cream filling, but it’s your choice. I think every kitchen should have a trusted sponge cake recipe. This cake recipe is a must-have, regardless of whether you’re making it for a big occasion, holiday, or just whipping it up on the weekend.
Ingredients
- Flour: use self-rising flour for sponge cake. All-purpose flour is equally suitable.
- Sugar: For a sponge cake, granulated sugar works best
- Vanilla Extract: Using real vanilla extract is highly recommended.
- Butter: It should be at room temperature, whether salted or unsalted.
- Eggs: The secret to a delicate, moist sponge cake is eggs. Remove your eggs from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature, along with your butter.
- Salt
- Heavy whipping cream
- Jam
How to Make a Victoria Sponge Cake
- Sift the flour and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- Using a stand mixer, place the mixing bowl in the middle and beat on medium-high speed just until the butter and sugar are smooth and well blended.
- The eggs should be added one at a time, with frequent stops to scrape down the dish. Next, beat in the vanilla extract and milk.
- Add the flour mixture gradually while beating at a low speed. The batter should be thick yet smooth after only a quick mix.
- Bake the mixture for 25 to 30 minutes. On a wire rack, let the cake cool in the pan.
- After the cake cools, quickly and simply prepare a handmade whipped cream. To do this, use a high-speed mixer to whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Drizzle the strawberry jam over it.
- Cover the jam with homemade whipped cream. Place the other layer of cake on top if you want.
- Before serving, lightly dust the top of the Victoria sponge cake with more icing sugar.
2) Vanilla Sponge Cake
This vanilla cake recipe is simple to make and perfect for any occasion. In addition to being excellent on its own, it is the ideal meal-ending dessert when combined with toppings like whipped cream and fresh fruit.

How to make vanilla sponge cake

- Coat or mist an 8″ by 8″ baking dish, then place it aside.
- The eggs, oil, milk, sweetener, vanilla, sea salt, and stevia should all be mixed in a big bowl. Blend until a creamy, smooth consistency is achieved.
- Almond flour and baking soda should be mixed in a different bowl.
- Mix the flour mixture into the wet components until smooth.
- It is okay if the batter is thin!
