Vanilla Sponge Cake Recipe :
In a heatproof pot, add in butter and heat over medium fire. Once all butter has melted and started bubbling, remove from fire and pour in 80 g cake flour in and whisk till smooth.
In a separate mixing bowl, crack the egg yolks in and scrape the vanilla beans into it. Whisk to combine.
Add butter flour batter to egg yolk mixture and whisk both together till smooth.
Add in milk, mix well till no lumps. Then finally the 50g flour with the baking powder. Again whisk till smooth with no lumps.
Preheat oven to 150C with water bath. Line and grease two 8″ round cake pans with parchment papers. I did a 6″ by 3″ round and a 6″ by 1.5″ round this time.
Beat the egg whites with sugar till firm peaks. Then gently fold in the whites to the yolk batter in 3 separate folds. Make sure you don’t over mix it and deflate the meringue.
Pour the batter in the prepared cake pans and bake in water bath for 55-60 mins. Using toothpicks to check for doneness. Clean toothpick means done.
Let cool completely before unmoulding or slicing. Enjoy
