Fluffy chocolate sponge cake
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. I admit, I have tried many chocolate sponge cakes over time, but this one turned out to be perfect for me! The sponge is airy, tender, moderately moist, has a wonderful rich chocolate flavor and a light texture. It is especially good in cakes, but can also be used as a standalone dessert.

Step 6
Grease the baking pan with butter. Dust the bottom and sides with flour and pour in the batter. I cook it in a multicooker on the “Bake” setting for 1 hour, but you can also bake the sponge cake in the oven. Bake in the oven at 180 °C for about 40 minutes. The smaller the pan diameter, the longer the baking time will be. Check doneness with a wooden skewer.
