One of the all time dessert  in our home is homemade moist vanilla sponge cake, which you can enjoy with your evening Tea and  is quick and super easy . 

One of the important thing which makes cakes the best and moist is the correct amount of time it is baked and the correct measurement of ingredients, otherwise they end up dry.

Lot of modifications can be done to this basic vanilla cake, by adding flavors of your choice. Most of the time, I use chocolate for my cakes, but this time , thought of making coffee vanilla cake , which believe me, came out super soft and super delicious.

For frosting , instead of butter cream, I used egg whites. Egg whites are whipped and then boiling sugar syrup is added slowly in it, to give it complete white look and smooth creamy texture.

You can also make cupcakes with the same recipe ,which are good for small occasions like kid’s parties or small get together.

Method for Easy Egg White Frosting:

Beat the egg whites until foamy and thick.

Don’t wait till the peaks are formed.

Combine sugar , water and salt in a saucepan.

Bring to boil stirring frequently.

Once sugar is dissolved completely, boil the syrup undisturbed for more 2 minutes.

Start beating egg whites and immediately pour boiling syrup in egg whites in a slow stream beating all the while.

As you beat, mixture will thicken up forming soft peaks. ( Keep in mind that the peaks won’t be stiff , but soft)

This will take around 10 minutes.

At this point, add vanilla essence and continue for few seconds.
