Basic sponge cake recipe with cream instead of butter

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 300 g flour
• 180 g cream
• 3 large eggs
• 200 g sugar
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Place the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix with a hand mixer until the batter bubbles. Then add the flour mixture in portions and mix everything until smooth. Line a loaf pan with baking paper or butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes, depending on the cake pan and oven power. Test the temperature (when it’s golden brown and the toothpick inserted comes out clean), then bake. Variations: – topped with apples, bake in a springform pan and spread with apricot jam, – stir cocoa powder into half of the batter and cover with chocolate glaze to make a marble cake, – replace 100g of flour with the same amount of ground hazelnuts/almonds to make a nut cake.
