Who doesn't love a good ol' slice of cake? Now a perfect sponge cake should be light,fluffy,moist and soft. Bangaloreans would know about Variar Bakery who makes the most amazing sponge cake I've had which is how my love for sponge cake started.
I am a sucker for these cakes either plain or topped with stuff like caramel sauce and whipped cream, chocolate sauce(even better with nutella), ice cream or even condensed milk. I personally love a warm slice with nutella. yum!!
This is the final recipe my mother came up with after tweaking and twisting the numerous recipes she came across and the final out come was this amazing super moist cake.
Chocolate variant can be made by adding coco powder and a little instant coffee to the same ingredients. I like to add a little extra of both to give it an intense, deep chocolate flavour that is truly decadent. You can even make a frosting of your choice for this.
Need:
1 Tin(390gm) Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 Eggs
120 gm All Purpose Flour
1/2 Tablespoon Baking Powder
Few Drops of Vanilla Essence
50gm Unsalted Butter(melted and cooled)
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degree C/ 350 degree F
Butter a 9" cake pan and use butter paper or parchment paper to line the pan
Sift the flour into a bowl along with baking powder. Add condensed milk,butter and eggs and mix well . I use an electric mixer with paddle attachment (if you want eggless cake use condensed milk as a substitute for egg by varying the proportions. it is equally tasty soft)
I have not used sugar as the condensed milk gives its own sweetness to the cake and its not excessively sweet.
Pour the prepared batter into the cake tin/pan and bake for 20 mins or until risen(A skewer or tooth pick inserted should come out clean)
Remove from oven place on a rack to cool
Serve it as plain slices or dust with icing sugar or dribble caramel sauce over it.
