Fluffy Vanilla Sponge Cake

In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until the butter melts. Do not let it boil.

Stir in the vanilla extract and set aside.

Fold the Batter:

Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture in three additions, using a spatula.

Slowly pour the warm milk-butter mixture down the side of the bowl and gently fold until fully combined.

Bake the Cake:

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
