Good Food reader Eve Scott shares this easy, foolproof recipe for chocolate sponge cake, perfect for a birthday, afternoon tea or weekend treat

Provided by Eve Scott

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for the tin
175g golden caster sugar
3 large eggs
50g cocoa powder
100g self-raising flour (or same quantity plain flour with 1 tsp baking powder)
1-2 tsp milk
50g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer)
85g unsalted butter , softened
175g icing sugar, sieved

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter and line two 20cm sandwich tins with baking parchment.
  • Use a handheld electric whisk or a freestanding mixer to beat 175g softened unsalted butter and 175g golden caster sugar together in a bowl until creamy and light in colour. Then add 1 large egg, still mixing.
  • Sieve 50g cocoa powder, 100g self-raising flour and a pinch of salt into another bowl and add a third of that to your wet ingredients.
  • Once combined, add 1 more large egg and another third of the flour mixture and work that in.
  • Then add 1 more large egg and the remaining flour and beat until you have a smooth thick batter. If the batter is stiff, stir in a splash of milk to loosen it.
  • Divide the mixture between the tins and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 20-25 mins until springy to the touch. Take out of the oven and leave in the tins for 10 mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the buttercream by melting 50g dark or milk chocolate in the microwave, or in a bowl over just simmering water, making sure the base doesn't touch the water. Leave to cool.
  • Beat 85g softened unsalted butter and half of the 175g sieved icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the remaining icing sugar and melted chocolate and mix together. If the icing is runny, chill in the fridge until it is firm but still spreadable.
  • To assemble the cake, put a small dollop of icing onto a plate and put one of the cakes on top. Spread the top of the cake with half the icing, leaving a 1cm border around the edge.
  • Put the second cake on top and push down very gently. Spread the remaining icing over the top.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for baking a chocolate sponge cake is 350°F (175°C). A lower temperature will result in a denser cake, while a higher temperature will cause the cake to rise too quickly and become dry.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to collapse. Only open the door to check on the cake in the last few minutes of baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.

Conclusion:

This chocolate sponge cake recipe is easy to follow and results in a moist, fluffy, and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can create a chocolate sponge cake that will impress your friends and family.
