Method

Sponge biscuit 16cm (6.30 inch)

All the ingredients must be at room temperature.

  1. Sift flour with baking powder and salt, mix well with a whisk.
  2. Whisk eggs with a mixer until the sugar has dissolved and white fluffy foam has formed. Add the dry ingredients in two steps. Stir them gently, from the middle to the edge, using a silicone spatula.
  3. Heat vegetable oil together with milk in the microwave. Add about two tablespoons of batter to the milk and oil mixture. Combine. Pour into the dough. Combine once more.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared ring. Bake for 35-45 minutes at 320°F (160°C), with top/bottom heating, until the inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool the cake on a rack, wrap in clingfilm, and place in the fridge for 4-6 hours, better overnight. Cut it into two parts.
