Butter sponge cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The buttery biscuit will appeal to those who enjoy moist, juicy baked goods and cakes made from it. Use high-quality butter or margarine, but not spread. Optionally, you can even replace them with vegetable oil, but make sure it's unscented (no aroma). Since oil is a fat, add baking powder to the dough, otherwise it won't rise! Feel free to add sweet spices, seasonings, lemon juice, etc. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.

Step 2
Put the chicken eggs into the bowl of a mixer or food processor, add salt and sugar, and beat at the highest speed for 3–4 minutes until a fluffy foam forms. The mixture should increase in volume several times and turn pale. However, it is important not to overbeat it, so that it does not separate.

After that, add the premium wheat flour, sifting it through a sieve. Mix it together with the baking powder using a whisk or silicone spatula, but do not beat. Beating the egg mixture with the flour will cause the dough to lose air bubbles, which are essential for making it fluffier. After adding the flour, you can mix in vanilla sugar, sweet spice, or lemon juice.

Step 6
Bake the sponge cake until a wooden skewer inserted comes out dry, for about 40-45 minutes, watching its surface. If the surface has browned but the skewer comes out moist from the center, cover the cake's surface with parchment paper and bake for another 5 minutes. Then remove the pan, turn it on its side, and let the cake cool.
