Homemade Easy Birthday Cake

1. 1

   Sift the flour and baking powder three times.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a small pan. Let cool.

3. 3

   Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat egg whites until they become white and frothy. Add sugar little by little and continue beating until sugar dissolves.

4. 4

   Next add the egg yolks and beat about 5 minutes. After that, combine dry ingredients, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well using a rubber spatula.

5. 5

   Pour the sponge cake batter in a 11-inch diameter baking pan that has been greased with butter and floured.

6. 6

   Preheat oven to 180 C degrees and bake the cake for 30 minutes. The cake is ready when you can lightly press on it with your finger and it bounces back.

7. 7

   Remove the cake from the oven and let cool before decorating it. When the cake is cool, take a sharp knife and run it around the outside of the cake. Spread butter icing on the top of the cake.

8. 8

   Decorate with flowers (I made them using gum paste).
