Beat Eggs and Sugar:

Incorporate Flour:
- - Sift the flour into the egg mixture in small batches.
- - Gently fold the flour into the batter using a spatula, making sure not to overmix. Be careful to fold in the flour thoroughly but gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Pour and Bake:
- - Once the flour is fully incorporated, pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- - Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake:
- - Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- - Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
- - Once cooled, you can serve the sponge cake as is or frost it with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or your favorite frosting.
