REC: Old-Fashioned Sponge Cake from Scratch
Hi Pam:
This is my grandmother's recipe:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 cups sifted granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs (fresh and at room temperature, if possible)
1/2 cold water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add sugar, flour, water, baking powder and salt; mix well until all is blended; add vanilla. Grease and line oblong pan with wax paper. Bake at 325 degrees for 60-65 min. Remove from pan remove wax paper. Serve plain or sprinkle with powdered sugar, ice cream, fresh or frozen fruit or whipped cream.
