Chocolate sponge cake is a classic and versatile dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It is a light, airy, and moist cake made with simple ingredients,
yet it delivers a rich and satisfying chocolate flavor. The foundation of a chocolate sponge cake lies in its fluffy texture,
which is achieved by incorporating air into the batter through a combination of beaten eggs, sugar, and little to no use of leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda.
This delicate structure makes it an ideal base for a variety of desserts, from layered cakes to trifles.
