  • 3 eggs

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Chocolate Sponge (from Jan)


Method

Mix cocoa and butter and add rest of ingredients except baking powder. (“Vinegar” is an error, perhaps someone was trying out the cooking sherry while transcribing this)

Beat 3 minutes then add baking powder.

Bake for 20-35 minutes (a broad range, just keep checking it so it doesn’t go underbaked or dry out completely) at 190°C. Use a greased, lined shallow square tin and you could turn this sponge into a swiss roll! The instructions don’t go into bake time x tin size/shape, so definitely one to watch closely until you’ve got the hang of how it behaves in your tin, and in your oven.)
