Fanta Sponge Cake
This Fanta orange cake is super soft and fluffy with the perfect amount of sweetness. It’s a great cake for casual tea time with family and friends. Preheat your oven to 165 degrees Celsius then grease and line the bottom of your baking pan with parchment paper. Start by separating the 7 egg whites from the yolks and place them in different large bowls, make sure your bowls are very clean so the egg yolks do not get into the egg whites.
Add 100 ml of vegetable oil to the egg yolks together with 220 grams of sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix everything using a wire whisk until creamy and incorporated then add 250 ml of Fanta orange soda and continue to mix it. Once well mixed, sift in 400 grams of cake flour together with one tablespoon of baking soda and half a teaspoon of salt.
Mix that until everything is well combined and there are no lumps in the batter. Set that aside. Into the egg whites, add half a teaspoon of cream of tartar then using an electric mixer, beat that on high speed until it turns foamy. Gradually add 130 grams of sugar while you continue to mix that until it reaches a stiff peak.
Lastly, gradually add the meringue into the batter and fold it with a rubber spatula, make sure not to rush this process, just fold it gently until well incorporated and you should not overmix this batter. Once done, pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 65 to 70 minutes on the lowest rack of the oven to rise nicely.
Once bakes out of the oven. tune the cake upside down and let it cool that way to prevent it from sinking. You will love the soft and fluffy texture, this cake has the right amount of sweetness and the hint of a Fanta orange flavor. You must give this recipe a try. Enjoy…
