Chocolate Sponge

Over the weekend, I tried out this basic sponge cake recipe from Alex Goh’s Fruity Cakes recipe book. Added cocoa powder to the recipe since the kids love chocolate!

Ingredients A
· 4 eggs
· 120g sugar

Ingredients B
· 95g flour, sieved
· 15g cocoa powder

Ingredient C
· 70g melted butter


Method:
1) Put ingredients A into mixing bowl and beat until white & fluffy
2) Slowly fold into Ingredients A mixture from Step 1 – mix well
3) Stir in ingredient C to the mixture and mix well
4) Pour the batter into a greased baking tin and bake in preheated oven at 180 °C for 25mins


Notes:
· I reduced the amount of sugar to 100g as I didn't want it to be too sweet.

· I didn’t have any butter in the fridge and so I used the Olive-Canola magarine I had to replace butter. Taste good as well!
· For a vanilla sponge, simply replace the cocoa powder with same amount of flour (total 110g) and add ¼ tsp of vanilla essence (to Ingredients A).
