Moist and Fluffy Cocoa Sponge Cake
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
Through a lot of trial and error, I came up with my own recipe for cocoa sponge cake. The scent and flavor of the cocoa made this cake come out just the way I wanted it.
The cocoa might clump, so make sure you sift very well. When you add the flour, mix in cutting motions to fold it in. Recipe by Maimama

- 1
Put the butter and milk into a heatproof bowl and microwave until the butter melts. Combine and sift the cake flour, katakuriko, and cocoa powder. Sift 2-3 times.
- 2
Put the eggs and sugar into a bowl and place the bowl over another bowl of hot water. Beat well until stiff peaks form. When warm to the touch, remove from the hot water bath and continue whipping.
- 3
When you can pierce the batter with a toothpick and it doesn't collapse, it's ready. Make sure you beat well until there are stiff peaks.
- 4
Add the sifted dry ingredients and fold in lightly, trying not to break the bubbles. Just until the flour disappears.
- 5
Add the melted butter from step 1 to the batter from step 4 and lightly fold it in. Pour the batter into a cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 170ºC for 25-30 minutes. It's done when a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- 6
When it's done baking, invert the cake and let it cool. You can leave it in the pan.
- 7
After it cools, remove the parchment paper and it's all done.
- 8
Have fun decorating your cake.

Fluffy and Moist Chocolate Sponge Cake
I arranged my fluffy and soft plain sponge cake to make this chocolate sponge. I added honey and starch syrup, and adjusted the amount of fat so as to make a fluffy and moist, but not dry sponge cake.You have to beat the eggs well, but do not beat too much. After that, the texture must be made fine with a hand mixer at a lower-speed. Fold in the mixture using a spatula with a cutting motion and rotate your bowl against the direction of the spatula. Do not over-mix but make sure the cocoa liquid is combined evenly. After mixing, the volume of the batter may drop, but do not worry. When it bakes, it will rise. Recipe by Lesser Panda
Moist and Fluffy Sponge Cake
I wanted to quickly make a tall, moist, and fluffy sponge cake and I finally did it!! It's even taller than I thought it'd be. I hope you give this a try.When making the meringue, it's important to set the speeds on the electric mixer exactly as I have written. Once you add the flour, quickly mix it all up. Recipe by Piyoppi
Fluffy and Moist Sponge Cake
I experimented with various ratios of the dry ingredients and finally came up with this sponge cake.If you raise the temperature of the egg mixture too high before you whip it, you will end up with a lot of air bubbles and the batter will be lumpy. So cool it down if it's too hot. If you have a thermometer, check the temperature of the butter before you add it to the batter. This process has an impact on the shape of the cake when it's baked (the dome on top falls depending on the temperature of the batter). Recipe by Shi-chan
Fluffy Sponge Cake
This is a sponge cake I've made for a long time. If you would like a chocolate sponge cake, reduce the flour by about 10 g and add about 20 g of cocoa.Step 1: If using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until you can draw an S on the surface of the batter, about 1-2 minutes.Step 4: If the temperature of the melted butter is too high, it will remove all the air from the batter and result in a deflated cake.

(You can omit both in a pinch.) Recipe by Kubokki-
Moist and Fluffy Sponge Cake (Genoise Sponge Cake)
I had a long history of messing up sponge cakes.In Step 4, if the bain-marie cools down, make sure to bring it back to approximately 60℃. You shouldn't mix too much in Step 10, but if you don't mix it just right, the batter will sink. You could use regular A4 sized printing paper instead of parchment paper. Recipe by Rearea cheese
Soft and Fluffy Sponge Cake
I bake this every year for Christmas and birthdays, but a 18 cm pan wasn't big enough, so I tried baking in a 21 cm pan.I wrote in Step 5 how to mix in the butter and milk into the batter, but if you've followed the recipe exactly, you can add it directly to Step 4. However, there's a high possibility that the batter would sink, so it's best to keep the two steps separate. Recipe by ko-ko

Moist & Fluffy Swiss Roll Sponge Cake
I looked up a lot of recipes and I tried different quantities. In the end, this is the "perfect" recipe that I arrived at. My sponge cakes have never failed ever since!-By using a hand whisk, not a plastic spatula, the flour and egg mixture will mix nice and evenly. Do not mix vigorously. Incorporate as much air as possible by making use of the wires of the whisk to whip through the mixture.-When you cool the sponge cake, wrap tightly with cling film. When you peel off the film the brown skin of the sponge will stick to the cling film and you'll be able to give it a nice golden brown color to both sides of the cake. If you wrap with cling film after it's completely cooled, the film shouldn't stick anymore, so do this before it cools completely. For one 28 x 28 cm [11.0 x 11.0 in] baking sheet.

I came up with this chocolaty cocoa sponge version when I made the sponge cake from this recipe: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/en/recipes/152230-sponge-cake-with-egg-sugar-and-flour .

Sponge Cake
I confess that I was really inspired by a book called "A Book That Answers your Why? Questions About Making Sweets" by Kazuyoshi Aihara. I highly recommend you read the book for further details.I reduced the calories of the recipe listed in the book as much as possible.There are 4 important key points; if you do these properly, then you can make a beautiful sponge cake. If you use the same ingredients in the exact same order, then this is the key to not failing in mixing it. If you remember this, then there is nothing to fear. ＊When beating the eggs, please add in vanilla essence if you like. Recipe by Osshosan

I failed several times, but it finally took shape.

If it's well-whipped the air bubbles will not pop. For 18 cm [7.1 in] round mold. Recipe by Kkmamacchi

Egg-Free Fluffy Sponge Cake
I really wanted my daughter who is allergic to eggs to be able to eat a decorative fluffy sponge cake.Egg-free cakes tend to be chewy and heavy rather than fluffy so I tried aiming for a cake that's fluffy but not dried out.I added in cocoa to cover up the taste of the baking powder. If you're making a decorated one, though, with other ingredients topped on it, you could also try preparing it without the cocoa.When you add the vinegar at Step 5, the batter will begin to expand quite quickly so please mix it in and get the batter in the oven as quickly as possible. Recipe by sanapon
Fluffy Sponge Cake with Pancake Mix
I made this for my daughter who has an egg allergy. I think this cake is the closest to a normal sponge cake so far. I baked it the day before, and decorated it the day after, but the cake was still nice and soft.But, since it's so soft, and it may break when you slice in half, so be careful.Just mix. It gets too hot on the middle rack in our oven, so I bake it on the lower rack. But I think this may differ depending on your oven, so just take that as a reference. Bake for longer if needed. Recipe by Megumiruki-
