Chocolate Sponge Recipe

Light as a feather yet rich in chocolate flavor, chocolate sponge cake recipes is an unforgettable dessert that makes dinner more special and possibly spectacular. The secret to making light and fluffy sponge cake is speed and timing. You have to work quickly yet gently. The eggs should be beaten well and enough air should be incorporated. If you leave the beaten eggs for any length of time, they will start subsiding and result in a flat and dense cake. Like making soufflé, the egg whites and the egg yolks should be beaten separately and gently folded in to the mixture.
