Vanilla Sponge Cake

Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Gradually add the vegetable oil and milk to the egg and sugar mixture, mixing well to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Finally, add the vanilla extract and mix until evenly distributed.

Grease and flour a cake pan (or line it with parchment paper) to prevent sticking.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
