Eggless Sponge cake is a soft, fluffy, tasty cake with a perfect bounce that any sponge cake should have. It is quick and easy to make with regular pantry ingredients and it all comes together in just one bowl.
Grease an 8 inch pan with butter/oil and dust it with all-purpose flour. Line the bottom with parchment paper
In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients 1 ¾ cup of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda and ¼ teaspoon salt.
In a Big mixing bowl add the ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter and 1 cup sweetened condensed milk.
Whisk/beat it together using a hand mixer at medium speed till all is all comes together and becomes a little light and fluffy.
To this mixture add the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix it together.
Now add ½ sifted dry flour mix and ½ milk and mix it all together.
Once it all mixes add the remaining flour and mix it together. Finally add the remaining milk and mix till all the lumps are broken and a smooth batter is ready.
Immediately pour the batter in the previously prepared baking pan and bake it in the preheated oven for 38 - 42 minutes or till the toothpick comes out clean.
Get the pan out and let it cool down to room temperature.
Once the cake cools down completely run a thin knife or butter knife around the edge and flip the cake over a wire rack.
Let it cool further and then store it in an airtight container or wrap it with cling wrap. It will stay good up to 2 day at room temperature.
You can serve the cake warm dusted with powdered sugar or top it with fruit compote.
Notes
Always measure the ingredients correctly. Do not press pack the ingredients.
Beat the butter and sweetened condensed milk so it is little light.
Use either a hand mixer or whisk to mix the butter and condensed milk.
Always sift the dry ingredients.
As soon as the batter is ready pour it into the baking pan and bake it.
Be careful while adding milk. While adding the last ¼ cup do it gradually so that if the batter has become smooth enough you can skip the remaining milk.
If you use low-fat milk be careful as you might have to skip ¼th cup of low-fat milk due to its more liquid nature.
You can add up to ¼ cup of extra sugar to the batter if you are looking for a sweeter cake.
