The Christmas cake is a classic dessert that cannot be missing from the tables during the holidays. This easy sponge cake recipe, with a delicious vanilla flavor and a butter frosting, is perfect for sharing with family. Its origins date back to European traditions, where Christmas cakes were made with dried fruits and spices, but this modern and simple version has earned its place in Hispanic homes for its fluffy texture and versatility for decorating.
If you want a more Christmassy touch, add cinnamon, nutmeg, or orange zest to the batter. You can also fill it with pastry cream or jam. This cake is perfect for celebrations, birthdays, or simply to sweeten a winter afternoon.

In a large bowl we are going to mix the eggs with the sugar.
Once we have the eggs and sugar integrated, add the oil and vanilla and mix it again so that it integrates.
We continue with the sifted flour and do it in batches of two or three times, exchanging with milk.
Once everything is mixed, we add the baking powder to it. And we mix again.
Finally, we take it to an oven at 180°C with heat up and down for 40 - 45 minutes.
