Title: Victoria's Sponge Cake
Categories: Cakes, Desserts
Yield: 10 Servings
1 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 c Butter; softened
1 c Confectioners' sugar
2 lg Eggs; room temperature
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 c Milk; room temperature
Set oven @ 400°F/205°C.
Grease an 8" springform pan.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a medium bowl and set aside.
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and
fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add
room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend
into butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in vanilla. Pour
in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just
incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for
10 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool
completely.
This cake can be served as is, just dusted with confectioners'
sugar. Alternately, cut the cake in half horizontally and sandwich
the layers together with jam or custard.
