00:00Good morning, I'm Viti, and this is La Cocina de la Abuela, and today we're making a fluffy sponge cake
00:06that's super easy to prepare.
00:08Really easy! Let's get started.
00:11We're going to need 4 large eggs, about 400 grams of flour, which is roughly 3 cups of all-purpose
00:17flour, and 100 grams of sugar.
00:20You can also use panela.
00:2316 grams of baking powder, that's one packet, a teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor,
00:28and finally 200 grams of butter.
00:32There you go.
00:35Let's get started.
00:37We pour the eggs into a bowl.
00:38Here, we're going to add the sugar to make it super sweet.
00:44We'll also add a generous tablespoon of vanilla extract, which will give it a really delicious flavor.
00:50Mix it a little.
00:53Next, we add the flour and also the baking powder.
00:57Let's sprinkle it in.
00:59And to make the cake super fluffy, we sift it.
01:03This will take you about 20 seconds, and the result is guaranteed.
01:08When you have all these ingredients, just mix them together with gentle folding movements,
01:13using a kitchen spatula or a wooden spoon.
01:16This step takes less than 25 seconds.
01:20It will be ready, and you'll have a spectacular butter like this.
01:25Does it look wonderful to you?
01:27Well, wait until you add the last ingredient butter.
01:30We've cut it into cubes, and we're going to melt it in the microwave in 10-second bursts.
01:36Be careful, otherwise it might explode.
01:38Once you have it melted, it'll look like this, and you add it to the mixture.
01:43There it is, all at once.
01:46We add the butter with the same spatula or with a kitchen ladle.
01:50Stir until the melted butter is fully incorporated, and you have a creamy mixture like the one you see here.
01:57Line a cake pan with parchment paper.
02:00One sheet from side to side, and grease the rest with butter.
02:05Pour the mixture inside.
02:06This one is about 25 centimeters by 18.
02:10Come on!
02:11There it all goes!
02:12You got it!
02:14Bake for 40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius in a preheated oven with top and bottom heat.
02:21And it's ready!
02:22You take it out, let it cool, and look how easily it comes out.
02:26There you go!
02:27Fluffy sponge cake made with no trouble at all!
