Easy vanilla sponge cake

1 hour 10 min
This is my go-to recipe for sponge cake. Bake in a bundt tin to give a gorgeous presentation or bake in two round cake tins and sandwich with whipped cream and strawberry coulis.

- Preheat oven to 170 C / Gas 3. Lightly grease and flour a bundt cake tin or two 20cm round cake tins.
- Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl, holding the sieve high to add plenty of air; add pinch of salt. Beat in soft butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined.
- Transfer into prepared tin and bake in preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, checking only after 35 minutes to see if a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Cool cake for 10 minutes in the tin; transfer to a cooling rack and allow cake to completely cool.
