Steps to prepare sponge cake
Step 1: Take maida, corn flour, baking powder and salt in a strainer, sift it two times and keep it aside.

Step 2: Take three eggs and powdered sugar in a bowl, stir it well and double boil it until the sugar dissolves. Using handheld electric beater, beat it continuously till the mixture turns into thick paste. Then, add vanilla essence and mix it well with the beater (as shown in picture 1).

Step 3: Take butter and milk in a bowl and heat it in microwave mode at 540 F for 2 minutes and allow it to cool.

Step 4: Add sifted flour and melted butter into beaten mixture. Fold it gently with wooden spatula. Take cake pan, apply butter liberally and dust it with maida and spread butter paper (as shown in picture 2). Pour the prepared mixture into the cake pan and tap it on both sides to expel the air bubbles (as shown in picture 3).

Step 5: Pre heat the oven at 180 Degree Celsius and bake the cake in conventional mode at 180 Degree Celsius for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, insert a long stick into the baked cake and withdraw it. If the stick is sticky, you have to bake it for another 5-10 minutes  (as shown in picture 4).

Step 6: Take the pan from oven and allow it to cool.
