Sponge Cake Base Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3

Beat Eggs

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla extract until frothy.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
