In a bowl with high sides, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla sugar, without separating the whites and yolks.

First, mix the eggs at low mixer speed, then add sugar evenly and increase the mixer speed to maximum and beat for at least 4-5 minutes until a fluffy light mass is obtained.

If the mixer is not very powerful, then you will need to increase the beating time to 7-10 minutes.

Add cocoa to the sifted flour, stir everything well with a whisk, then sift the flour and cocoa together a couple of times to saturate them with oxygen.

Add flour and cocoa to the beaten eggs in several additions.

Very carefully and accurately, but at the same time very painstakingly and not very long, knead the biscuit dough with a silicone spatula, moving from bottom to top, from the edges to the center. After mixing, the biscuit mass will settle slightly, but nevertheless it will be fluffy and elastic.

Fundamentally! If it does happen that the dough has fallen, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder.

Line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper. (If there is no paper, you can sprinkle only the bottom of the mold with flour or grease with butter.)

Pour the finished dough into the mold.

Spread the biscuit dough as evenly as possible.

Bake a sponge cake in a tin with a diameter of 20-22 cm or in a square 18×18 cm at 180-190°C for 20-25 minutes.

Bake a sponge cake in a tin with a diameter of 22-24 cm or in a square 23×23 cm at 180-190°C for 30-35 minutes.

Baking time and temperature must be adjusted to each oven individually! The oven door must not be opened for the first 20 minutes, so that the chocolate sponge cake does not turn into a donkey!

Check the readiness of the biscuit with a toothpick. If the toothpick remains dry, then the sponge cake is ready, but if the toothpick is wet, then you need to throw the sponge cake in the oven for a couple more minutes.

Place the finished hot biscuit in the pan for 15 minutes to cool.

Then carefully remove the biscuit from the mold, remove the baking paper, transfer the biscuit to a wire rack and leave to cool.

If the top of the sponge cake comes out mounded, then in order for it to become even, you need to turn the sponge cake over onto a flat surface and leave it until it cools completely.

Cover the cooled biscuit with a napkin or cardboard towel and let it rest at room temperature for 8-12 hours.

Then, when soaked in syrup, the biscuit will not become soggy and crumble when cut.

The chocolate biscuit is ready. Bon appetit and successful baking for you!

Chocolate sponge cake

Hello, my dear friends and comrades! You often ask me about chocolate sponge cake and ask me to recommend which one is better for this or that cake.

I did a little advertising research on our web and found out that there are not many good recipes for chocolate sponge cake.

With the idea given to us, I decided to collect for you in this article three of my own most successful chocolate biscuits , which differ not only in taste and color, but also in texture, and, obviously, in the method of production.

I can’t even say which of these biscuits I like better. They are so different that you should experience them ALL, #yashchivayu

Sponge cake No. 1. With chocolate.

Almost all of you are already familiar with this recipe. This sponge cake is the oldest and most battered chocolate sponge cake. I often recommend it to you. I baked it myself again almost 2 days ago. It is so rich in itself that it does not require, unlike vanilla, a huge amount of “additional materials”. So, for the last cake, I simply soaked it in syrup and layered it with mascarpone cream. It turned out to be simply brilliant.

We will need:

dark chocolate, 55-60% – 140 gr.
butter – 75 gr.
eggs – 6 pcs.
sugar – 180 gr.
flour – 100 gr.
starch – 50 gr.
baking powder – 16 gr.

Manufacturing:

Preheat the oven to 180ºC, grease a 24 cm diameter mold with butter and sprinkle with flour (shake off any remaining flour).
Melt the chocolate in a water bath. Make sure that the upper container does not touch the water and that the water does not boil. Stir the chocolate occasionally with a spatula.
Once the chocolate turns into a homogeneous glossy glaze, add the butter, cut into cubes, mix and remove from the water bath.
Separate the whites from the yolks and beat the yolks in a mixer with half the sugar (90 g) until a fluffy light mass is formed.
Then add melted chocolate to this mass and, using a spatula, mix with careful folding movements until smooth.
In a separate, clean bowl with a mixer with clean attachments, beat the whites with the remaining sugar (90 g) until hard peaks form (the whites should not fall out of the bowl if it is turned upside down).
Add the resulting meringue into the chocolate mass and mix with careful folding movements from bottom to top until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix flour with starch and baking powder, and sift into the chocolate mass. Gently mix again with a spatula until the ingredients are combined.
Pour the dough into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Check the readiness of the dough with a toothpick. And if particles of raw dough are visible on it, then bake the shortbread for another 5 minutes and check again.
Cool the finished cake in the mold for 5 minutes, then remove from the mold, transfer to a wire rack and leave until completely cooled.

Biscuit No. 2. In boiling water

Thanks to the addition of coffee, this type of chocolate biscuit comes out very rich in taste and color, but at the same time indescribably tender.

Ingredients:

cocoa powder - 85 gr.
flour - 200 gr.
sugar - 225 gr.
soft brown sugar - 200 gr.
baking powder - 1 ½ tsp.
soda - 1 ½ tsp.
salt – ¾ tsp.
eggs, large - 2 pcs.
drink – 235 ml
sunflower oil – 120 ml
vanilla extract - 2 tsp.
boiling water - 235 ml
instant coffee - 1 tsp.

Manufacturing:

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease a mold with a diameter of 23-24 cm, cover the bottom with parchment and grease again with oil.
Place all dry ingredients (not including coffee) in a mixer bowl: cocoa, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix on low speed mixer for 2 minutes.
Pour boiling water over instant coffee and stir until dissolved.
Then add all the remaining watery ingredients (along with hot coffee), and stir for another 3 minutes until a homogeneous mass is formed.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 60 minutes or until the skewer comes out dry.
Cool the finished biscuit in the mold for 5 minutes, then turn it over onto a wire rack, remove the paper and leave until completely cool.
After the biscuit has cooled, cut off the dried top.

Traditional sponge cake with cocoa

This is an analogue of my famous vanilla sponge cake from the chef. When you asked me how to turn this vanilla sponge cake into a chocolate one, I usually recommended that you simply replace some of the flour with cocoa. But essentially from the same course I still have a recipe for a chocolate sponge cake, which is prepared slightly differently.

For this chocolate sponge cake we will need:

butter - 25 gr.
eggs - 225 gr.
sugar - 135 gr.
salt - 1 gr.
vanillin - on the tip of a knife
flour - 50 gr.
starch - 50 gr.
cocoa - 25 gr.

Manufacturing:

Melt the butter and leave it aside to cool.
Preheat the oven to 150º . Cover the bottom of a springform pan with a diameter of 24 cm with baking paper.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, starch and cocoa.
Place eggs, salt, vanillin in a mixer bowl and beat until foamy.
Then add sugar evenly and continue beating until a fluffy, light, but not very thick mass is formed, 5-10 minutes.

I beat on my own 500 Watt machine at the highest speed for about 10 minutes.

If you plan to cut your chocolate biscuits into shortcakes, it is better to let them dry for several hours in advance, wrapped in cling film.

And since almost everyone has already begun to ask which cream is best to choose for these biscuits, here is my article with 15 recipes for cake cream . My favorite is with mascarpone.

And in this article ⇒ you can find a good vanilla sponge cake for a cake.
