Soft and Economical Chocolate Sponge Cake

A tall, soft, and delicious cake that can be topped with cream, jam, cheese, or dark chocolate—it's great when stored in the fridge too. I usually use 3 large eggs, but since these are smaller, I used 4. This is also perfect for making a tart. For a tart, slice it in half, spread with jam, add buttercream and sweetened condensed milk, cover with another layer of cake, then spread buttercream on top and decorate. It's a budget-friendly yet tasty birthday cake option.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Beat the sugar and eggs with a mixer until the sugar dissolves, then add the liquid vanilla, salt, and emulsifier. Mix until thick and forms ribbons.
- 2
Add the cake flour, cornstarch, and cocoa powder while sifting. Mix on low speed until just combined. Turn off the mixer and add the melted butter, chocolate paste, and sweetened condensed milk alternately, folding gently until well combined (don't overmix to avoid deflating).
- 3
Pour into a greased and lined baking pan (my pan is small). Bake in a preheated oven at medium-low heat until cooked through. Test with a skewer; if it comes out clean, it's done.

NOTE: You can make this in other flavors like pandan. If making pandan or other flavors (not chocolate), replace the 10 grams of cocoa with 10 grams of cake flour. Don't skip the 10 grams.

Fluffy and Moist Sponge Cake 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 cookpad.japan -

Chocolate mmmmhhh a favorite sweet that most just love. I haven’t made this Chocolate Sponge cake in a while, and I decided to make it last night. I had all the ingredients and it only took about 35 minutes. Just mixed, baked and it was ready!When the cake finally cooled off, it was time to start pouring the homemade chocolate syrup on top, I have to admit just looking at it had me drooling and I’m not even a chocolate lover…Me like white Chocolate. 🙂Every dish or dessert I make I have to taste, this cake has me second guessing about not liking chocolate!!! 🙂 I added Cognac into the batter just to give it a bit of twist 🙂If you haven’t had Chocolate Sponge Cake try this recipe you’ll love it!!
