Basic Hot-Milk Sponge Cake

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	118ml	Milk
1 tablespoon	15ml	Butter - plus
2 teaspoons	10ml	Butter
8 teaspoons	40ml	Eggs (large)
2 cups	396g / 13oz	Sugar - plus
2 tablespoons	30ml	Sugar
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	Bleached flour
1 teaspoon	5ml	Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1 teaspoon	5ml	Pure vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 1 tablespoon of butter, over medium heat. Put the eggs and 2 cups of sugar in a large mixing bowl, and with an electric mixer fitted with a wire whisk beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale yellow, thick, and has tripled in volume, about 8 minutes, using the mixer. With the machine on low, beat in the warm milk mixture. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in another large mixing bowl. Add the egg mixture and vanilla, fold to mix thoroughly so the mixture is smooth.

Grease 12- by 17-inch baking sheet pan with the remaining butter. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Pour the cake batter evenly into the pan and bake until the cake springs back when touched, about 15 minutes. Let cool for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle a piece of parchment paper with powdered sugar. Using a thin spatula or knife, loosen the edges of the cakes, then flip onto the paper. Cool completely.

This recipe yields one 12- by 17-inch sheet cake.
