It’s the go to cake, it’s a classic, it’s the one that everyone wants to master- it’s the vanilla sponge! It was the first thing I ever baked as a little girl and it’s the one where my love of baking started. I remember my mum and my gran teaching me how to cream the sugar and the butter together with a wooden spoon, and me complaining that it’s taking to long and my arm was sore. I quickly stopped moaning over the years when we got an electric mixer and that when I discovered and an all in one recipe.
The vanilla cake can be used for many things; it can be a great layered cake or as a cupcake mixture. The recipe that I am going to share has enough mixture for 1 layer in a 10cm tin or enough for 12 dozen cupcakes. I find that my cakes rise well and are nice and fluffy with this recipe.
