Golden Sponge Cake

I saw a few bloggers baking this and have bookmarked this quite sometimes back. Today after work, I find some time to try out this bake. Having been away for a week and kind of miss my baking. This cake was fairly easy to make but somehow I still find my bake is not that very perfect. Texture wise is soft and fluffy.

54g butter
57g low protein flour (sifted)
