BASIC MOIST CHOCOLATE SPONGE RECIPE FOR CAKE:

INGREDIENTS:

For the sponge:

8 eggs
a pinch of salt
150g sugar
100ml oil
200g flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder

For the syrup:

500 ml of water
200 grams of sugar
3-4 tablespoons rum flavouring

DIRECTIONS:

Separate the whites from the yolks. Mix the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become firm. Add the sugar and mix until you get a meringue.
Fold the yolks with the oil and add them on top of the whites. Incorporate them by gently folding from bottom to top.

Add the flour, cocoa and baking powder and incorporate them, using the same technique. Pour the mixture into a baking dish, lined with baking paper.

Bake in the preheated oven, at 180C degrees, for around 30 minutes. When the sponge is ready, put it aside to cool. You can check if it's ready with the toothpick test. If the toothpick comes out clean from the sponge, then it's ready.

Prepare the syrup. Caramelize the sugar, but be careful not to burn it because it will become bitter. Add the water and boil until all the sugar is completely melted, set aside and add the rum. Let it cool down.

To get the moist sponge/base for your cake, you need to pour the syrup on the sponge and my advice is to leave it in the fridge overnight, the sponge will soak all the syrup, but it will be firm to work with.

Bon Appétit!
