Sponge cake with proteins for cake topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 165 g soft butter
- 1.5 cups of sugar
- 2 cups premium flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 whites from large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Special equipment: 2 round cake tins (23 cm in diameter and 5 cm deep) or 1 rectangular cake tin (23 cm x 33 cm x 5 cm), greased with butter. Line the bottom with parchment or waxed paper.
Preparation:
- Place a rack on the middle shelf of the oven and preheat to 180°C.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt. Combine the egg whites, milk, and vanilla extract. Fold 1/3 of the flour mixture into the creamed butter, then pour in half of the milk mixture. Continue adding the remaining ingredients, one at a time, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then invert, remove the parchment paper, and cool completely.
Note
To make a classic golden sponge cake, replace the egg whites with 3 large eggs and 1 yolk.
