Mini Sponge Cakes Recipe

November 7, 2025 by admin

1. Prep the Oven & Pan

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Grease and flour a mini loaf or muffin pan, or line with paper cups.

2. Beat the Eggs & Sugar

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy (about 5 minutes with an electric mixer).

• This step incorporates air, which makes the sponge light.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

• Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil and continue mixing.

• Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Fold in Dry Ingredients

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

• Gently fold the dry mix into the wet mix with a spatula.

Do not overmix — stop when everything is just combined.

5. Bake

• Pour the batter evenly into the prepared molds (about ¾ full).

• Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

6. Cool & Serve

• Let cakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

• Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a drizzle of glaze.

These mini sponge cakes are soft, fluffy, and lightly sweet, perfect for tea-time or as snack cakes.
