Delicious Homemade Orange Sponge Cake Recipe for Beginners
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round 9-inch cake pan.
- Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the orange juice and milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with an orange glaze for extra sweetness.
