Here is the super soft, tall, fluffy sponge cake recipe from your images — the kind that’s bouncy, airy, and perfect for layering.

✨ Ultra-Fluffy Sponge Cake (Cotton Soft)

Ingredients

✔️ 6 large eggs (room temperature)

✔️ 150 g sugar

✔️ 120 g cake flour (or all-purpose flour sifted 2–3 times)

✔️ 60 ml milk

✔️ 50 ml vegetable oil

✔️ 1 tsp vanilla

✔️ 1 tsp baking powder (optional, for extra lift)

✔️ A pinch of salt

✨ Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the batter base

1. Separate the egg whites and yolks.
2. In the yolk bowl, add:
   • 60 ml milk
   • 50 ml oil
   • 1 tsp vanilla
     Mix well.
4. Add sifted flour (and baking powder if using).
5. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
   → Set aside.

2️⃣ Make the fluffy meringue

1. Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt.
2. When foamy, add sugar slowly (about 3–4 additions).
3. Beat until medium peaks — glossy, soft, not stiff.

3️⃣ Combine

1. Add 1/3 meringue to the yolk mixture — fold gently.
2. Add remaining meringue slowly.
3. Fold carefully to keep the air inside.

4️⃣ Baking

1. Line your pan with parchment.
2. Pour batter (tap pan lightly to remove air bubbles).
3. Bake in preheated oven at 150–160°C for 55–70 minutes (depending on pan height).
   • Low and slow gives extra fluffiness!
5. When done, remove from oven and tap the pan once to prevent shrinking.
6. Cool completely before cutting.

✨ Tips for Super Height & Soft Texture

✔️ Use room-temperature eggs

✔️ Do NOT overbeat the meringue

✔️ Fold gently from bottom to top

✔️ Bake using low temperature for tall, even cooking

✔️ Let it cool upside-down if using a chiffon pan
