One of the most basic cake recipes is vanilla sponge cake. This cake is really simple to create and just requires common household ingredients. The process of beating eggs and butter together is the key to a soft, spongy cake.
The amount of air introduced during the whisking step has a significant impact on the increase. With a spatula, carefully fold the flour into the airy, light combination of butter, eggs, and sugar.

Preheat oven to 180C.

Sieve together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl.
Gradually add the dry mix into the butter mixture and carefully fold it using a spatula.
Transfer to a greased and floured cake tin.
Smooth the surface and place it into a preheated oven at 180C for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove and allow it to cool before de-molding and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
