Vanilla sponge is a type of pastry made with simple ingredients. It is made from eggs, sugar, flour and vanilla paste. The result will be a light, fluffy and airy dough that is usually baked in a round or rectangular baking tray. The term 'sponge' refers to the texture of the cake, which is spongy and has a springy texture to the touch.
1. How do you make a vanilla sponge cake?
Vanilla sponge cake is made by first whisking the eggs and sugar until they turn into a light and fluffy mixture. Next, mix the dry ingredients such as flour, cocoa powder, baking powder or baking soda together and sift them into the egg mixture. Add the oil or butter and mix everything together lightly with a spatula. Lastly, add the BAM vanilla paste, which, as well as providing a vanilla flavour, also binds all the ingredients together and adds an elegant look to the sponge cake batter with the addition of Bourbon vanilla seeds.

Vanilla sponge cake can be served as a stand-alone dessert or used as a base for other desserts such as layer cakes or the increasingly common stick cakes. It is a versatile sponge cake that can be enhanced with other ingredients such as chocolate, citrus fruits or almond extract.
Vanilla sponge cake can be used in many recipes or another ingredient can be used instead of vanilla. Some ideas are below:

Ingredients:
For the vanilla sponge dough:
- 4 large eggs
- 200 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon BAM vanilla paste
- 200 g flour
- 6 g baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 115 g butter
- 120 ml of milk
Instructions:
To make the vanilla sponge cake:
1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a 20 cm cake tin with baking paper. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla paste until the mixture is pale and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, kneading gently with a spatula after each addition until the dough is smooth and lump-free. Add the melted butter to the dough and stir until the butter is incorporated.

Slowly add the milk and stir gently until the batter is smooth and creamy. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the pastry comes out clean.
Remove the pastry from the oven and leave to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the bixcuit to release it from the tray, then transfer the pastry to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the pastry has cooled, it can be served as it is, or decorated with icing or whipped cream, if desired.
