Vanilla Sponge Cake With Crumble Topping

Today is Sri Lanka's Independance day so...

HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY, my beautiful Sri Lanka!

And with that being said, I've been baking! Two of my childhood school friends were coming over for a slumber party. Yes, I am a grown, married woman who has slumber parties and they are awesomeee. Nothing like catching up with friends you have grown up with and laughing 'till your stomach hurts.

So they deserved some good ol' baking love and I decided to make a Vanilla Sponge Cake with Crumble Topping.

I got this recipe for Sponge cake awhile back and it has never failed me. It is soooo soft and spongy and light! And amongst the 3 girls we gobbled down the whole cake overnight. *burp*

So here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 Cup Granulated Sugar
113g Butter, softened
2 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Salt
1 1/3 Cups All Purpose Flour
1/3 Cup Butter Milk (1 cup milk + 1 tsp vinegar = 1 cup buttermilk)

For the Crumble Topping:

1/3 cup Brown Sugar
1 tbs All Purpose Flour
1 tbs Butter
A pinch of Ground Cinnamon

Instructions:

For the Cake:

 1. Preheat oven to 350 F / 175 C. Butter your cake pan (9")

2. Cream together the sugar and butter with an electric mixture, for about 4 minutes.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla and cream together for another 4 minutes, until you get a smooth mixture.

4. With the speed on slow, add the dry ingredients (baking powder, salt, flour) and slowly add the milk and mix everything to combine. Do not overmix!

5. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth evenly

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes and let cool for about 30 minutes before coating with topping.

For the Crumble Topping: 

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon

2. Cut in the butter and mix until you get a crumbly texture.

3. Sprinkle over the cake 

And voila! So simple, so easy and SO YUMMY.

Go and try it nowwww! And have a good night ya'll!

Love,
