How to Make It — Step by Step
Sift Dry Ingredients
Sift flour, cornstarch, baking powder and baking soda together into a large bowl twice to aerate and combine evenly
Add Remaining Ingredients
Add sugar, milk powder, vanilla powder and salt to the sifted mixture and whisk well until fully blended
Mix Thoroughly
Use a hand whisk or spatula to fold and mix all ingredients so there are no pockets of any single ingredient
Store the Premix
Transfer the premix into a clean airtight jar or zip lock bag and label it with the date
Use Within Shelf Life
Store in a cool dry place and use within 4 to 6 weeks for best results when baking your vanilla sponge cake
Tips for the Best Result
Always sift the premix at least twice before using it in your recipe to ensure a lump-free, airy batter and a lighter sponge.
Vanilla powder can clump in humidity, so make sure all your ingredients are completely dry before mixing the premix batch.
Use the spoon-and-level method for flour and cornstarch rather than scooping directly from the bag, so every batch of premix stays consistent.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this premix works perfectly for cupcakes. Simply follow your wet ingredient ratios and bake at 180 degrees C for 18 to 20 minutes.
Vanilla powder is added to the dry premix for longer shelf life. Add vanilla extract separately when you prepare the batter, and skip the powder from the mix.
This version uses all purpose flour and is not gluten free. Substitute with a 1 to 1 gluten free flour blend to make it suitable for a gluten free diet.
One full batch of this premix makes one standard 6 inch eggless vanilla sponge cake.
