2 c white granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c whole milk
1/4 c unsalted or lightly salted butter
2 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (use 3/8 tsp if using unsalted butter)

Steps:

1. Beat eggs in large mixing bowl (with paddle attachment if possible) for 4 minutes. Do not shorten the time.
2. Add sugar and continue beating for another 4 - 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and stir on low just until combined.

5. Pour into two greased and floured 8" pans.
6. Bake at 325 about 33 - 35 mins or until the middle springs back when touched, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven and let stand in pans for 10 mins. Then turn out onto a wire cooling rack and cool completely before frosting.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture. Organic, free-range eggs and real butter are highly recommended.
Prepare the cake pans properly by greasing and flouring them. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking.
Fill the cake pans no more than 2/3 full. Overfilling the pans can cause the cake to rise unevenly and overflow.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Do not open the oven door during the first 2/3 of the baking time. Opening the door can cause the cake to fall.
Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting or decorating.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a delicious and beautiful sponge cake that will impress your family and friends. This versatile cake can be enjoyed plain, or dressed up with frosting, glaze, or fruit. It is the perfect choice for any special occasion or everyday treat.
