COTTON SPONGE CAKE

INGREDIENTS;

    60g butter, melted

    80g flour, sifted

    80ml full cream milk

    1 whole egg

    5 egg yolks

    5 egg whites

    120g caster sugar

INSTRUCTIONS;

    Line a baking pan and set aside.

    Melt butter ( you can use a microwave) and pour it into a mixing bowl.

    Add sifted flour and use a spatula to mix the flour and butter until well blended.

    Add milk and continue to mix.

    Add egg yolks, one by one, mixing as you go along, followed by the whole egg. Set aside.

    Using a handheld mixer, beat egg whites until foamy and add sugar.

    Continue to beat until stiff peaks.

    Pour the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and fold to mix until you do not see any streaks.

    Pour batter into the lined pan and bake at 150°C for 1 hour and 50 minutes on the middle rack until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

    Remove the cake from the oven immediately and drop it from a height (about 12 inches ) onto your tabletop.

    Unmould the cake and leave it to cool completely before serving.
