Please please please answer my question!I really need to know,I really like your racipe and I'm really eager to try this out! Thanks 🙏❤

Can I skip this double boiler process ?

[@elliesim4986]

I tried this recipe, it's great! I warmed up the milk and dissolved some instant coffee in it. Followed the rest of the recipe to a T and it was great! Thanks so much!

[@countkostaki]

If you put about a ladle-full of the egg mixture into the coco powder mixture and mixed it thoroughly and then added that to the rest of the whipped egg you are much more likely to incorporate it more thoroughly and loose a lot less bubbles of air because it will not sink to the bottom of the bowl if you do it this way, because the mixture will not be as heavy

[@jennicanovia3294]

Tried that, but idk I lose a lot of that precious bubbles😢

[@massabielle2821]

Oh my goodness! I saw your channel pop up and WHATEVER you make, it always turns out exactly the same when I attempt it. Thank you so very much for your dedication and effort in making these recipes so perfect! ❤️

[@viniciusandrade6755]

[@juliehui9488]

I made this for a birthday cake and it was a hit!!! The most moist and not too sweet chocolate sponge ! Thank you for your video and all the tips!!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I'm so glad!! Thank you for letting me know!

[@kadlee]

this is the recipe that I have been looking for! I tried it today and it’s exactly how I imagined it to be. ❤ thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us. 🥰

[@zedniagutierrez8400]

I made it and it is delicious. Sliced for morning with a cup of hot corrado.. But,i glam it up for a friends get together dinner . I am big in presentation so I picked off white square dinner plates, sprinkled the plate with just a touch of cocoa powder. Cut the cake in square, I pulverized hazelnuts into fine powder on top. I caramelized ripped Turkish figs, and add 3 slices on top . Then just drizzle white chocolate on top of all and a bit on plate. Simple ingredients but done with precision to create the main block . I love that , to get something unique and a simple basic recipe to excitment when is served. I believe in Being creative with color, combining textures and lastly considering the vessel or /and composing the plate as you would a painting . Thank you very much for sharing your recipe and your family and I did you proud. Thank you.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

That sounds soo delicious! I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe with your creativity. Thank you for sharing the result!

[@julianamendonca1149]

I made it last night and it came out PERFECT!! Light, fluffy, moist and a good chocolate taste! I think my oven (that's vintage haha) was a bit hotter than it should, so it was done 13 min earlier - I noticed by the edge that the oven was too hot and STILL, it came out perfect! Great recipe, thank you for sharing!

[@williamwalker2690]

Your previous chocolate sponge was my go-to cake but this one is better! I struggle to fold without deflating, but mixing the cocoa powder with the milk and oil made all the difference. One other thing I like to do (need a helper here) is to fold the flour in while sifting. Overall, I’m getting about 1/3 taller than your previous recipe! Thanks for your updated recipe!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you for trying both and share the experience!! I'm so glad you liked this one😌 It became my new fav too!

[@曹美英-x5m]

好好吃🤤❤妹妹吃的津津有味真可愛🥰

[@annchovy6]

I made this sponge and it was great, though admittedly I changed one thing, which was to use 1/8 tsp baking soda instead of powder. I like baking soda because it counteracts the acidity in cocoa better than baking powder. The cake rose beautifully and is very light and fluffy, and yes, very moist.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you for sharing it! It's a great alternative, I almost thought about using it this time but I was afraid the texture gets slightly chewier (I don't know if it's the right word to describe the texture but it added almost like steam bun texture when I added it to a different recipe before.). But it's really good to know it worked great, I'll add in the description that they can use it too! Thank you.

Omfg no joke the cake was SUPER GOOD My mom loved it so much and it was super yummy and airy

Hi , am new here . Thanks for your tip about mixing the cocoa powder with milk and oil to help making the cake fluffy. I have had so many problems with deflated batches and resulted in dense sponge cake. Wonder why??? Now I must test it out myself using your tip. Thanks again for sharing this tip.

Thank you!

[@yejaynorbu7823]

Thank you so much... I was waiting for a chef like you to teach me clearly on baking... Finally here you are.... I tried vanilla version of yours but by using all purpose flour and it came out perfectly and I tried chocolate version but might be due to the size of egg or.. I might made mistakes... It came out height short.. Hope it would work well

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

I hope this one works for you, the chocolate sponge cake is a bit stickier than a plain one since cocoa powder pops air bubbles quickly - we need to work very fast. This method should work better than the first one!

[@lisaong2371]

Hi Aya 👋🏻, I just finished baking 2 x 6” cakes and just froze them for cream cheese frosting next week. They are so tall, light and very fluffy, so I’m wondering if they can withstand cream cheese frosting between the cakes when I stack them together? Another question, I have a small handheld mixer and can’t seemed to beat it to your very pale and fluffy consistency, so I beat for a long time . Is it possible to overbeat at this stage? And how long approximately shld I beat it? I think I beat maybe 7-8 mins. Thank you …

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hello! It should hold the weight with the cream cheese frosting. The process is going to be a lot easier when you chill the crumb-coated cake in the fridge before finishing the final coat. And 7-8 mins could be a bit too long depending on the room temperature or high fast that was: the cream could collapses when it was over-mixed, especially with a stand mixer because it is very powerful. It might be okay with your mixer though!

[@lisaong2371]

@@PastryLivingwithAya thank you so much for your reply 💙. Last question, in your opinion, is it too high to stack two 6” cakes .? 1 cake is quite high by itself.

[@vicb5098]

Looks great Aya! Probably good with vanilla ice cream.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Yum!😋

[@R72Investments]

Thank you Aya for this wonderful recipe. There is oil and oil. What oil do you use when you bake this cake? Thank you ❤

Does it help to prevent shrinkage by adding a wee bit of cream of tartar to the whipped whole eggs batter? It is usually used to stabilised a meringue but will it do the same for whole eggs?

[@janakatelingarbers6904]

Hiii! I hope you’re doing well.🌸 For my pastry exam I have to make a chocolate sponge cake from a recipe I have in my book. My recipe is pretty much the same as yours, except mine doesn’t have any milk and I sift my cocoa powder in. Also mine doesn’t have any rising agents like baking powder or soda. Today, I tried the recipe in my book. The texture came out okay, but my cake didn’t rise very high. Do you think I could possibly still mix my cocoa powder with my oil even if my recipe doesn’t require milk? Or do you think it could be the fact that the recipe doesn’t contain any rising agents? I was very gentle with the whipped eggs but maybe next time i should just fold a bit faster. Any advice would be appreciated.😊

I read that it is better not to line the edges of the baking pan because the paper could fold inwards and spoil the shape of the cake. It's this true?

Hi, I only have one 9" cake tin, but I want to make one cake tall enough to cut in half and put frosting in the middle. Do you think I should do 1.5 times the batter?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Hello! I would do 1.5 batches to be safe, especially if you like a taller cake. Cut the parchment paper taller than the pan just in case it rises very high. And bake longer with more batches!

[@shuntyty]

just done eating this cake, really delicious the only tricky thing was the egg part fortunately i had my sister not too far so i could make her whip them haha, thank you for this awesome recipe 😮‍💨 i wonder how many calories this cake is? do you have any idea?

[@noahahh]

anyone know why it sinks every time i take it out the oven?

[@katielin526]

HI Aya, I tried the recipe with 1.5 batch in a 6" pan, and baked more than 35 mins since I was waiting for the cake to shrink a little (signs of showing that it's done), so I baked for around 45-50 mins I think, however i noticed the cake still shrinks on the side after taking out of the pan, do you know what may have caused this? (I feel that my batter has not deflated though) Thanks!

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you for trying the recipe already! 45-50 mins seems like a long time; how was the texture? was it still fluffy and moist, or felt under-baked? You may want to try baking it at slightly higher temperature next time. Also, try not to open the oven door till the very end to get the best result. It's normal that the cake deflates slightly as it cools down just like in the video since this is a very fluffy cake. The same thing happens with chiffon cakes, etc. But if it deflates a lot, it might be under-baked or there should be something else causing it. I might be able to give you better advice with a little bit more info!

[@katielin526]

@@PastryLivingwithAya Thanks Aya for getting back to me. Actually it's not under-baked, but maybe a bit over baked. I noticed one thing when it's still in the oven that the top burst quite serverly and unevenly and it forms a thick skin quickly and since it pops quite high, i need to put a foil on top to prevent it from burning. when i take the cake out to turn in onto the rack, the cake falls right out when the baking paper on the side is still in the pan...The side didn't shrik heavily, but you can see an obvious 0.5-1cm dent and the wall it's not straight.

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

Thank you for explaining it a bit in detail! I might be wrong, but it sounds like the flour was the issue; Typically, the batter rises higher with less flour and shrinks more after it cools down. (If everything else looked right before baking and the cake is baked enough. Or it could be because the temperature was too high but I don't think it is your case, judging from how long it took for the cake to get baked.) Or it could be the type of cake flour...? I totally understand you did the calculation right (again, I might be wrong!), but check below again and see if there is no miscalculation there: 1.5 batches: * Eggs 6 * Granulated sugar 7.35 oz | 210 g * Milk 3 oz | 85 g * Oil 3 oz | 85 g * Salt 3 pinches * Cocoa powder 1.5 oz | 42 g * Cake flour 4.2 oz | 120 g * Baking powder 3/4 teaspoon I really hope it'll be a success next time!!!

One batch of the recipe is enough for 1 8” or 2 6” cakes which is 1 20-cm or 2 15-cm cakes.

[@itzmilan0112]

Question, why do you need to fold and bake it quickly as possible?

[@PastryLivingwithAya]

We want to bake it as fast as possible after whipping eggs since the bubbles slowly pop and disappear, especially after adding flours. It leads to a shorter, less fluffier sponge cake.
