A sponge cake is the mostly all favorite cake. This classic sponge cake made into a chocolate sponge cake. Chocolate gives new flavor into it. This is completely fail -safe recipe because I always weigh the amount of ingredients and used it same proportion.
For good result, always use a good quality cocoa powder (not drinking chocolate).
