Ingredients:

Maida - 100 gm

Condensed Milk - 200 gm

Butter - 2 tbsp

Powdered Sugar - 2 tbsp

Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp

Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp

Aerated Water (Drinking Soda) - 100 mL

Vanilla Extract - 1/2 tsp

Salt - 1 pinch


Method:

Preheat oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

Grease baking pan with butter and line with parchment paper.

Sieve together maida, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a mixing bowl, whisk butter till soft.  Add condensed milk and whisk together.  Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and mix together well until combined.

Add one-third of the maida and mix gently.  Add half of the drinking soda and mix.  Mix gently the rest of the maida and soda alternatively.

Transfer this batter to the prepared baking tin and bake at 180 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool and use.

Notes:

This basic sponge cake can be used as base for many flavored and iced cakes.  One best example is that it can be used to make eggless white forest cake.  I used Amul mithai mate (condensed milk).
