Make The Best Chocolate Sponge Cake

Eggs, sugar, and flour are needed to make a classic sponge cake. The eggs need to be whisked to a sure consistency, and if a beginner baker does not know what that looks like, the cake could not rise at all, or it might deflate as soon as they take it out of the oven.

How To Make
•    Prepare a square or round cake pan measuring 20cm (8in) in diameter by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.

•    Set oven temperature to 170 degrees Celsius, 325 degrees Fahrenheit, or gas mark 3.

•    Cream the sugar and butter together in a large mixing mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy. When adding the eggs, do it one by one and continue beating until a trail is left when the whisk is removed from the surface (with an electric mixer, about 5 mins).

•    Separate the flour. Incorporate half of the flour by folding it in gently. Add the remaining flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder when thoroughly mixed. Add the vanilla essence and mix well.

•    Toss the concoction into the awaiting tin.

•    30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean, is the ideal baking time for a chocolate sponge cake.

•    Take out of the oven and set aside to cool. Dispose of the greaseproof paper and turn out onto a wire rack.

•    Flip the top of the chocolate sponge cake over so that the bottom becomes the top. Fill it with whipped cream and fruit, such as raspberries or strawberries, then serve it sliced horizontally. Add extra fruit to the top for decoration.

•    Alternatively, true chocolate lovers may whip up our easy chocolate frosting. Whip all the ingredients into a fluffy, silky frosting using an electric mixer. Do a split and spread half of it in the centre of the chocolate sponge cake and the other half on top. Raspberry slices may be used as a garnish if desired.

•    The chocolate frosting for this sponge cake may be spooned on and smoothed with a palette knife to get a rustic appearance. For a more festive presentation, you may sprinkle this cake with sugar, add some fresh fruit (strawberries or raspberries, for example), and dust it with icing sugar. You may substitute Nutella or another chocolate spread if you dislike the frosting. You may go the rich chocolate ganache cake route instead.

•    A fresh cream frosting that has been beaten to soft peaks is another option for a sweet cake. Finally, as we said above, you could use Nutella or peanut butter to fill your chocolate sponge cake.
