**Large Wedding Sponge Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 12 large eggs, at room temperature
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– 2 cups cake flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 14-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together.
4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, making sure not to deflate the batter.
5. Slowly pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, and continue to fold until well combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cake is completely cool, you can frost and decorate it as desired. You can go for a classic white buttercream frosting, fresh berries, or delicate edible flowers for a romantic touch.
10. To serve, use a sharp knife to cut slices of this magnificent sponge cake and watch your guests delight in the light and airy texture with every bite.
