Ingredients – For the sponge
* 5 large eggs
* 170g granulated sugar
* 1 tbsp vanilla essence
* 160g self raising flour
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 160 °C Fan/ Gas mark 4. Oil and flour a 29cm bundt cake tin (or whatever size you prefer, just note that the timings will be different).
2. In a large metal bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and vanilla essence for 3 minutes on high speed. Then place a pan with boiling water underneath the metal bowl. Whisk for a further 5 minutes – all in all the mixture should be whisked on high speed for 8 minutes. Once the mixture has reached the ribbon stage, stop whisking. You can test this by drawing a figure 8 on top of the mixture and waiting for a minimum of 8 seconds to see if the number is still visible and has not sunken.
3. Sift in half of your flour and then fold it in gently to ensure you do not deflate the mixture. Then sift in the remaining flour and fold this in. Mix just enough to incorporate the flour into the mixture.
4. Pour the cake batter into your prepared cake tin and tap the tin on your work surface once to release any air bubbles.
5. Place your tin on top of a baking tray and bake in the oven for 25 minutes (the timing will vary depending on what size cake tin you use). Once a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean remove the sponge cake from the oven and place it immediately onto a cooling rack. Remove the cake tin and let it cool completely. Once cooled you can decorate the cake or you can serve it plain.
