Part 8/10:
Precision is key when creating the perfect sponge. Ingredients must be weighed meticulously, including eggs, sugar, and flour. Creaming butter and sugar slowly until light and fluffy lays the foundation for the cake's airy structure. Each egg is added one at a time to prevent the mix from separating, followed by a careful incorporation of flour and a hint of vanilla for fragrance.
To finish the sponge batter, a splash of milk helps to achieve a desirable dropping consistency, ensuring even baking.
