Instructions

1. Crack eggs into a bowl, add granulated sugar, and beat until completely dissolved. Gradually add fresh milk and melted butter to the mixture, whisk vigorously until the butter is fully melted. 2. Add 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the mixture and stir well. This ingredient is essential for enhancing the richness and glossy appearance of the homemade sponge cake. 3. Sift flour and baking powder into the mixture and stir well to prevent clumps. 4. Continue to sift the batter mixture into another bowl to remove excess air bubbles and clumps of flour. Let the mixture rest for about 1 hour. 5. Brush a thin layer of vegetable oil onto the mold. Only fill the mold with batter up to 2/3 full as the cake will rise considerably during baking. 6. Place the cake mold in a preheated microwave oven. Bake the cake at 180°C for about 25 minutes. You can check if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick into the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done baking.

Ingredients
