Preparation
Step 1
Use premium flour. The eggs should be large; if using small ones, take 5-6 pieces. Choose neutral sunflower oil without aroma. Any yellow-colored lemonade will work.
Step 2
Beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar using a mixer or stand mixer until fluffy - the mixture should increase in volume 3-4 times.
Step 3
While continuing to beat, pour in the vegetable oil and lemonade. The mixture will become much thinner.
Step 4
Sift the flour together with baking powder and add it in portions to the batter, beating on the lowest speed each time until smooth. You can also mix by hand with a spatula, but small flour lumps may remain. The amount of flour can vary; judge by the texture.
Step 5
The batter should be like liquid sour cream - slightly thinner than for a classic sponge.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the multicooker bowl. You don’t need to grease it - there’s enough oil in the batter.
Step 7
Set the “Bake” mode and cook for about 65 minutes (1 hour 5 minutes). Try not to open the lid during baking, or the cake will collapse. After the signal, set the same mode for another 60-65 minutes. No need to flip the cake - it will brown nicely on top. Since multicookers vary, adjust time based on your model (mine bakes at 266°F / 130°C).
Step 8
When baking is done, turn off the multicooker and let the sponge cool under the lid for another 20 minutes.
Step 9
Then invert the bowl with the cake onto a rack (it won’t fall out) and let it cool completely while hanging.
Step 10
The finished sponge looks beautiful in cross-section - evenly baked, fluffy, airy, and soft. Enjoy!
