HOW TO MAKE PAN DI SPAGNA (ITALIAN SPONGE CAKE) RECIPE by ItalianCakes USA

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while maintaining moisture.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a round cake pan.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks in two large bowls.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Add vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture and mix well.

Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions.

Sift the flour and baking powder together, then fold into the batter gently.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
