Cocoa sponge cake is made with cocoa powder and has a light, fluffy texture. It is very similar to a version of the classic sponge cake made with eggs, sugar and flour and is known for its airy texture.

When making cocoa sponge cake, cocoa powder is added to the basic sponge cake ingredients to add a rich chocolate flavour. Whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then gently fold in the sifted flour and cocoa powder. The dough is then baked in the oven until the cake is browned and risen.

Thecocoa sponge cake can be served as a dessert on its own or served with a topping or glaze. However, it is most often used as a base for other chocolate desserts such as chocolate cakes or other chocolate desserts. Cocoa sponge cake is a delicious and versatile dessert suitable for any occasion.

1. How do you make a fluffy and airy cocoa sponge?

One of the main characteristics of a good cocoa sponge is definitely its light and airy texture. This is achieved by whisking the eggs and sugar until they are pale and fluffy, which creates small air pockets in the batter. Add the flour and cocoa powder carefully so as not to squeeze out all the air bubbles, and then bake the dough in the oven until it is browned and risen.

Cocoa sponge cake can be used to make different flavours of cake or to use other flavourings instead of cocoa to enrich the cake. We've written some ideas below:

Cocoa sponge cake

Preparation time: 45 min
Difficulty:
Number of ingredients: 8

Ingredients:

For the cocoa sponge cake with cake:

4 large eggs
200 g sugar
120 g flour
35 g BAM cocoa powder
4 g baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
120 ml of oil
1 teaspoon BAM Bourbon vanilla paste

Instructions:

For the cocoa sponge cake:

1. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 20 cm diameter cake tin with baking paper. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer, stirring until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, BAM cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing gently with a rubber spatula after each addition until just combined.

2. Step

Stir in the vegetable oil and BAM vanilla paste until the batter is smooth and well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the cake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove the sponge from the oven and leave to cool in the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Step Once the dough has cooled, it can be glazed or decorated as desired.
