You can make an excellent sponge cake even without the ingredients that we usually add to the dough to make it fluffier.
You just need to choose the right proportions of ingredients and stick to the recipe.
If you want to get a chocolate sponge cake, which is perfect as a stand-alone dish for a cup of tea, then you can add another 30 grams of cocoa powder to this amount of products.
The classic recipe involves separating the whites and yolks. But in this case, you can skip this procedure.
Eggs should be beaten with a mixer with salt, and then gradually add sugar. The mass should be beaten until the bulk product is completely dissolved. The preparation should be fluffy and light.
In a separate container, mix the sifted flour with cocoa. Then gradually add them to the egg mixture.
The finished dough needs to be poured into a mold and baked at 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.
It is important that the oven is preheated, otherwise the mass will not rise.
It is also important to remember that you cannot open the oven door for the first 20 minutes, so that the cake does not turn out hard and flat.
