Step 6
Grease a microwave-safe dish with butter. You can dust the bottom and sides with flour or semolina. The dish should be large enough that the batter fills only half of it. Now spoon the white and chocolate batters in turn with a tablespoon so that clear circles form. I started with the chocolate batter. Use about 1–2 tbsp of each kind of batter.

Step 7
Bake the sponge cake at maximum power for 5 minutes, then do not open the door for another 10 minutes. The batter should rise to roughly double its height. Let the sponge cake cool completely, and only then carefully remove it from the pan.

You can simply dust the sponge cake with powdered sugar and serve it with tea, or you can cut it into 2–3 layers and fill it with any cream you like.

I made this cream: sour cream — 200 g, cream cheese in a package — 150 g, sugar — 100 g, and a bar of dark chocolate — 100 g. Whip the sour cream with the sugar. Add the cream cheese and whip everything again. Then add the melted chocolate and whip once more. The cream is ready.

You can coat the sponge cake with cream on top and all around. Decorate as you like. I used chopped walnuts. Place the cake in the refrigerator and let it soak for several hours. I refrigerated mine overnight.
