Classic chocolate sponge cake with cocoa

Ingredients

Servings

Egg C0

6 pcs
Sugar

150 G
Wheat flour

130 G
Cocoa powder

30 G
Baking powder

1 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Break all the eggs into a mixer bowl.

Step 2

Add sugar to them and beat until a white, fluffy mass is formed.

Step 3

In a separate container, mix cocoa and flour.

Step 4

We sift our dry ingredients into the egg mixture.

Step 5

Add baking powder to the mixture and gently mix the dough with a silicone spatula.

Step 6

Make a homemade baking pan by wrapping foil around the sides.

Step 7

Pour the dough into our mold and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
Check the sponge cake's readiness with a toothpick or other wooden skewer. Poke it into the dough, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Step 8

We take our sponge cake out of the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool upside down, without removing it from the pan.

Step 9

After this, carefully remove the foil from the bottom and separate the cake from the sides.
At this stage, let it cool completely.

Step 10

Wrap the sponge cake in cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
This will allow the moisture to be distributed evenly, resulting in a cake that will delight you with its texture and delicate flavor.
