Basic Sponge Cake

Many of u requested this with easy measures like with a spoon . So here it is.

Firstly separate 5 egg yolks from the whites . Make sure no yolk has broken in the white or it will not get fluffy.
In a big bowl ( make sure its dry ) put the egg white and beat well for a minute , add 2 tbsp castor sugar and beat for 2 more min , and 2 tbsp sugar and beat again for 2 mins ( repeat this process 2 more times , that is a total of 8 tbsp sugar) beat till stiff peaks. Now with very light hands mix in with a whisk or spatula the egg yolks , 8 tbsp maida , 5 tbsp oil and 5 tbsp milk , and 1 tsp vanilla essence . Bake in a greased tray ( grease with butter and coat with maida ) in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 min or check with a toothpick to see if its done .
You can also cover and cook on a tava on low heat for the same time , keep checking after 10-12 mins.

For chocolate sponge follow the same recipe just use 6 tbsp maida and 2 tbsp cocoa powder.
