🎂 New Year Chocolate Sponge Cake 🎂

Posted on December 29, 2024 by admin

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk, warm
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil

Optional Fillings and Frosting:

  • Whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or buttercream
  • Fresh berries or fruit preserves

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and line the bottom of an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

  1. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 3: Whip Eggs and Sugar

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until pale, thick, and fluffy (about 5–7 minutes).
  2. Add the warm milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Mix gently to combine.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  1. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture in three additions.
  2. Use a spatula and fold carefully to avoid deflating the batter. Mix until just combined.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Decorate (Optional)

  1. Slice the cake in half horizontally to create layers.
  2. Spread whipped cream, ganache, or frosting between the layers and on top.
  3. Garnish with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or powdered sugar.

Tips for Success

  • Room Temperature Eggs: Whip better and help the cake rise.
  • Folding Technique: Be gentle to maintain the airiness of the batter.
  • Moisture: For extra moisture, brush the layers with simple syrup or coffee before frosting.
