Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour and baking powder. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix.
-
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add in the honey, mixing until well combined.
-
Gradually fold in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk mixture, starting and ending with the flour.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and tap it gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, slice the Chinese Honey Sponge Cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy the moist, honey-kissed goodness!
