Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for making a classic fluffy sponge cake in the oven. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. It's best to preheat the oven in advance so that it's ready by the time you start baking. Begin beating fresh eggs at a low mixer speed. Once the yolks are combined with the whites, increase the mixer speed to maximum, then add sugar and vanilla. Add the sugar gradually, not all at once. Continue beating for about 5–7 minutes until the mixture increases in volume and turns pale.

Step 4
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a silicone mold with oil and carefully pour the batter into it. Cover the mold with foil to help the sponge cake rise evenly and bake thoroughly in the oven. Bake the sponge cake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry. Do not open the oven during the first 30 minutes to prevent the cake from collapsing and to keep it fluffy.
