Basic Vanilla Sponge Cake

Even though this is already 4th time i've make this sponge cake but i find the result still not 100% perfect. If I'm going to rate it, is about 7 only. I'll try to improve from time to time.

Anyway, this is the recipe for the sponge cake:-

Ingredient:-
140g cake flour
4no eggs
30g milk
200g sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
4g salt
30g oil

Method:-
1. Sift the cake flour and set aside
2. Add salt and sugar and pour in a mixing bowl with eggs. Immediately using high speed beat the egg mixture until pale and fluffy then reduce to medium speed. Continuous beating until the egg mixture reach soft peak (when the mixer lifted, the dripping about 2 to 3 sec once)
3. Now mix the flour into the batter using slow speed to avoid the flour from flying then follow for medium speed until just well combine. (NOTE: Don't overbeat as the egg batter will deflate - possible just use a rubber spatula to mix)
4. In another clean bowl, mix the milk and oil together. Pour 1/3 of the egg batter into it and mix well. Pour back the oil mixture into the remaining egg batter and mix until just combine, when you will notice that the batter is shining.
5. Pour the mixture in a loose baking base and fill up to 70% to avoid uneven baking especially the middle part.
6. Bake at preheated oven at 170 degree for 35 mins or until a skewer inserted into it comes out clean.
