Lighty sponge cake

1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line the bottom of an 8-inch cake tin
2. In a large bowl, combine the hot water and 65g of granulated sugar.
3. Add the egg yolks and vanilla essence to the mixture, whisking until it doubles in size and becomes light and fluffy.
4. Mix in the oil
5. Sift in the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cornstarch). Gently fold until just combined.
6. In another large bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 65g of granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
7. Carefully fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake tins and bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until the cake is level and springs back when pressed in the center.
9. Turn the cakes upside down and cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, place them in the fridge to chill completely.
10. Once chilled, unmold the cakes and gently rub the outer crust to remove the caramelized layer. Set aside until assembly.
