Delicious sponge cake for a cake

Description

Homemade baked goods for tea. You can make a plain sponge cake, but if you add cocoa powder while mixing, it will turn into a chocolate version. Either way, it's perfect for various types of cakes, including layered ones. Don't assemble the cake immediately after baking—wait until the sponge has cooled completely.
