"Stream Moderator Dragnoc, thy request for a cake recipe is acknowledged. I shall provide thee with a recipe of simple elegance, suitable for even the most novice of bakers꞉
The Basic Sponge Cake꞉
Ingredients꞉
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
Instructions꞉
1. Preheat thy oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting (Optional)꞉
Thou mayest choose to adorn thy cake with a frosting of thine choosing. A simple buttercream frosting, made by creaming together powdered sugar, butter, and a touch of milk or cream, would complement the sponge cake admirably. Other options include chocolate ganache, cream cheese frosting, or a glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
