🧁 Ingredients:
For the Sponge Cake:
– 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 4 large eggs, room temperature
– 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk, warm
– 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Whipped Cream Frosting:
– 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
– 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Decorations:
– Fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
– Chocolate shavings
– Edible flowers
👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Sponge Cake
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed for 5–6 minutes until the mixture is thick, pale, and has tripled in volume.
4. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be gentle to preserve the airiness.
6. Slowly pour in the milk-oil mixture and fold to combine. Do not overmix.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Whipped Cream Frosting
1. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
2. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip — it should be smooth and spreadable.
Step 3: Assemble the Cream Cake
1. Level your cake layers if needed using a serrated knife.
2. Place the first cake layer on your serving plate or cake stand.
3. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top, then add a few sliced strawberries or fruit (optional).
4. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
5. Decorate with more fruit, chocolate shavings, or flowers as you like.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
– Place the finished cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the cream set and enhances flavor.
✨ Tips for Success:
– Use cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl for best whipping results.
– For flavor variation, add a spoonful of jam between cake layers or use flavored cream.
– A serrated knife works best for slicing the cake cleanly.
