Whole Egg Sponge Cake Recipe

Whole Eggs: 4 pieces
Caster Sugar: 120 grams


Cake Flour: 130 grams


Salt: 1/2 teaspoon


Vegetable Oil: 30 grams


Fresh Milk: 30 grams


1. Crack the eggs into a clean, oil-free and water-free mixing bowl, then add the caster sugar.


2. Place the mixture over a hot water bath and heat to 40°C, stirring continuously to ensure even heating.


3. Once the temperature is reached, remove from the water bath and beat with an electric mixer until the egg mixture turns from yellow to white. Lift the mixer; if the batter forms a figure-eight pattern on the surface that disappears within a few seconds, the egg mixture is properly beaten.
4. Sift the low-gluten flour into the mixture in two separate additions, gently folding each time until just combined.


5. When folding, avoid stirring in a circular motion to prevent the batter from deflating.


6. In another bowl, combine milk, vegetable oil, and salt, then stir with a manual whisk until evenly mixed.


7. Take a small portion of the beaten egg mixture and add it to the milk mixture, stirring until well combined.


8. Pour this mixture back into the remaining egg mixture.


9. Gently fold until evenly incorporated.


10. Pour the batter into a mold, gently tap it a few times to release air bubbles, and place it in a preheated oven. Bake at 130°C for 1 hour. The cake is done when the surface springs back upon light tapping. Place the mold on a baking tray, and set the tray on the oven rack; this method is necessary due to insufficient oven height.


11. Let the cake cool completely, then carefully remove it from the mold using a demolding knife. A perfectly fluffy sponge cake is now ready.
