i tried it last night. i cant believe i have made my first ever choco sponge cake. its even more yummy than other sponge cake i have ever tasted. i love chef michaels recipes. so soooo true.
I only subscribed to your channel about a week ago; I wish I had found it sooner. I value cleanliness when cooking so it is such a pleasure to watch someone who keeps their work station so neat and clean. You explain the process well. I only had one question about the pan size but, I found the answer in the description. Thank you for being so thorough. Well done. 🖒🍰
agree clean and tidy what a man. i've been watching all your videos and love the simple way how you delivered the measurement of those ingredients thank you
You are such a role model for both male & female aspiring bakers because you are so neat & tidy. Cleanliness matters a lot when food is being prepared. Wish I could bake half as well as you & be as neat & tidy as you when baking. I also tried your vanilla sponge cake today. Happy with the outcome. Thanks for sharing your expertise & experience with us.
Thank you Daniyal. No matter how hard I try, yet already 12 dislikes within 30 minutes for no reason. Wish those people who dislikes my videos can at least explain why.
Ah I love his all the recipes... He is just a wonderful Baker. And dislikes...just ignore it. They r poor jerks who don't have better work to do. U r doing the best work. Keep going. Looking forward for lot more recipes. Greetings from India
Thank you for the great recipe and tips! Made yesterday and it turned out like a store bought cake! I totally appreciate the weight of eggs in grams as i only had AA sized eggs. Thank you again. Cheers
Hi michael! I made this recipe today and it turns out to be soooo good....thank you so much for showing a very details step by step even how to fold the batter. I tried other recipes and I failed many times 😄 but yours is always good for a beginner like me. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Indonesia 💕
Yesterday night, I bake this cake following your instruction and recipe. Then I also made the frosting as you instructed in the Simple black Forest cake. It turned out so good. The cake was moist and soft. the frosting was so nice too. My son keep eating the leftover frosting in the bowl, he loves it. Thank you so much for the videos Michael. Much appreciated! i am going to bake this cake again next weekend for my party :-)
I tried 3 different recipes for chocolate sponge cake but this one is the best! I did a ganache cake Thank you again and also for the vanilla sponge cake, the chocolate chip sponge cake, the macaroons, the raspberry curd..... 😋
@michaellim i always follow your recipes and they turn out great! But ive been having a challenge with the chocolate cake!.. it never turns out right nor spongy!.. its hard and at the beginning it takes ages to get to soft peaks 🤦🏽♀️! What could i be doing wrong??.. the vanilla sponge cake is always a hit in my house. Thank you
Yes this chocolate sponge is a bit difficult to execute then the other sponge. Make sure not to over fold your cake batter. Try to learn and focus on your folding skill and you will do just fine.
@michaellim Thank you so much for your response. Will keep on trying until it comes out as good as the vanilla. In the mean time, keep up and thanks again for always sharing your awesome recipes. God bless you
Hi Brother Michael.. I tried this lovely recipe. It turned out really yummy. When we watch closely how you do the batter there is a loot for a beginner like me to learn. I used a 20 cm round pan. As I only had that pan. So i increased all the ingredients to 1.25 times the original recipe. I kept to the same temperature and timing. Thank u so much for teaching us. May God bless u
Hi Michael, gladly I found your recipe :) I made this last week for my son's birthday cake, and it absolutely delicious, everyone in my family love it, thank you so much :)
Hola muchas gracias por compartir .tis recetas son maravillosas las ago ..tienen buen resultado..solo deseo.preguntarte .si puedo.humedeser los biscochuelos si nobra ..ningun problema.. gracias.. mil gracias🌷🌷
I have tried out various chocolate cake recipes but none have been as superbly successful as this cake of yours!!!! Its soft, spongy, chocolatey and oh sooo delicious!!! You don't have to look for another recipe if you've got Michael's chocolate cake recipe!! Thank you for the wonderful cake! Please do come up with more ❤️❤️
Michael, many thanks for the time you take to explain your methods in such detail. May I ask how you prepare your pan? I see parchment paper lining the base but you use a knife to loosen the baked cake from the side, do you grease the sides or not? With sponges and chiffon this can be important I believe?
Hi Michael! I used this recipe in my valentine's chocolate heart cake videos a few weeks ago, it turned out lovely. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes 👍👍
Hey Michael, this is my second time ever baking a cake, the first time being cupcakes. The cake was absolutely delicious! I liked your simple instructions and ingredients. Looking forward to do more of your recipes
Michael, seems you are not adding the flour to the egg mixture before adding to the egg white. Won’t the many mixing of the egg whites caused the egg white to collapse (making it lose its stiffness)?
Felicitacione.eres un gran maestro.en,la pasticheria.no hablamos El mismo idioma ,te haces entender muy bien.yo soy del Perù.abrazos a l distanza.muchas suertes en tus nuevos ,proyectos.🙏🙋🙋🙋😊
one thing you need to keep in mind haters are going to hate no matter what. I made your vanilla sponge cake over the weekend I love it. although I'm not a big fan of chocolate I'm going to give that recipe a try.
To stabilise meringue can I use either white vinegar OR lemon juice OR creme of tartar.. whichever I have at hand? Thank you very much. Love your videos. So clear and illustrative
thank u so much for your videos. i done it well, and it tastes great my husband approve it. so many times i fail in baking but when i came up watching your videos and follow every instructions i have done it well.. thank u soo much. God bless keep up the good work.
Hello Micheal, Hope you're recovering well! 😊 Tried this recipe twice and everyone loved it. I personally like it to be a bit more sweeter. Is it ok if I just add some more sugar to the recipe without changing the quantity of other ingredients?
I had tried out your vanilla sponge cake recipe and it was so amazing that i didn't have any doubts for this and went ahead and made it. The cake was so beautifully soft and delicious and the flavour of chocolate is so very well accentuated. For a chocolate lover this cake was just paradise. Thank you so much Michael for this recipe as I won't be needing another. Congrats on your great work and keep it up..!!!!!
Thanks for your great recipe Michael Lim. I like it so much. It was so easy to be followed. But I have a question, doesn't the cake need to be turned over after cooking? To avoid the cake from fell down after cooking.. Or no need to? Sorry for my broken english*
i did it last night, and it turn out so good for me ( this is my first time baking sponge cake), and i only use traditional oven.. thank you for the recipe and the vidio.. i am really happy :)
hi michael,i watched ur video many times bfore i tried to make one,got the chance to make it recently....,its taste so good not to sweet...i like it so much.but appereantly when i took out from the oven n let it cool,the cake shrinking....how can it that be?
Thanks a lot for all these amazing recipe.... Please tell me, if i add some melted chocolate with this batter, is it going to work like this.... I wanted the cake to be more chocolaty.....
Hi Michael. I enjoy the video, very to the point. But I would like to know why the uses of the vinegar in this recipe and is there anything I can switch it with if I don't have that(the measurement you think is right for that too)? Thank you!
Hi, michele same how i used your recepi for make.jpnese chess cake. But some time my cake is not grow up what is your suggestion to make beautifull jpnese chese cake so it can go higher thanks.
Hello Mr Lim. I have following your recipes and the new butter, white and chocolate frosting which I add on my vanilla cupcakes thanks to your recipes. I have this question, I noticed you only add vinegar and not baking powder or baking soda. Is there a reason why or you just choose not to? Thanks for making it easy for us to learn from you.
Vinegar is to stabilised the meringue, just like cream of tartar. For light cakes, meringue is enough to make the cake rise. Adding baking powder will make the cake rise too much and deflate once is cooled. Add baking powder only for heavier or denser cakes. Baking powder is also used in chiffon cakes because it uses tube pan, and it won't work on round regular pan.
Your receipts are great and easy to follow. My question is how to alter the ingredients in different size baking pan? Like my pan is 9 inches(around 22cm). Thank you.
I double the ingredients for pan size 24cm. For pan size 22cm just add 75% more ingredients. That means you need to use 7 eggs. I think you are able and capable to do the calculation yourself.
Hi sir Michael just wanna ask, wat if I need a huge cake? Can I double or maybe even triple the recipe? Do I need to add something?and how about the baking process?is it the same?
Hi michael..m plannin to make blackforest cake for my husband's bday... can u plz tell me can i add cake gel into this recipe..if yes den wot should be the amount..i knw cake gel is used mostly for eggless cakes...still i want to know if i can add and wud dat result in spongier cake?

Michael Lim for 21cm cake pan?
You are such a role model for both male & female aspiring bakers because you are so neat & tidy. Cleanliness matters a lot when food is being prepared. Wish I could bake half as well as you & be as neat & tidy as you when baking. I also tried your vanilla sponge cake today. Happy with the outcome. Thanks for sharing your expertise & experience with us.
I appreciate the fact that when Michael transfers the batter to the baking pan, it doesn't look like he left 1/2 of the batter in the bowl!
Lee Ann Johnson Yep! Michael is meticulous. Everything is well organised . Out of curiosity , I wonder if ever he needs a wife . LOL
Was the vanilla cake dense?
@@leeannjohnson1808 yeah....its a fact
Who else likes Michael's vids before watching it because you know it's always gonna be good

Michael, many thanks for the time you take to explain your methods in such detail. May I ask how you prepare your pan? I see parchment paper lining the base but you use a knife to loosen the baked cake from the side, do you grease the sides or not? With sponges and chiffon this can be important I believe?
Do not grease the side of the pan using my sponge cake recipe. Just a parchment paper on the bottom will do. Good luck and success.
Hi Michael, how to set up the oven? Can I bake the same way as the Japanese cheese cake that you showed before? Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I love the cleanliness when you make the cake. I made this and it came so nicely. Thank you for this video.
Thank you chef, one more question how do I come to know that the cake is perfectly baked?
Insert skewer in the centre of the cake ..if its come out clean then u know its done
would this recipe still work if i used gluten free flour? (my mother has a gluten alergy)
Hello Michael… i loved these recipes last 3 years, and you really keep it simple, sos much talent ❤
What I like about your videos is how neat you are when making all those cakes. Thank you.
Hi Michael! I used this recipe in my valentine's chocolate heart cake videos a few weeks ago, it turned out lovely. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes 👍👍

I am amazed at the sharpness of your cakes, I am interested to know if you prepare the molds with fat?

Can I sub white vinegar with something else or skip it? Thanks!
yes with lemon juice, I used to make meringue with a teaspoon of lemon juice instead of white vinegar
@@wahiba08 great. Thanks.
one thing you need to keep in mind haters are going to hate no matter what. I made your vanilla sponge cake over the weekend I love it. although I'm not a big fan of chocolate I'm going to give that recipe a try.
Thanks for the understanding. 😊
To stabilise meringue can I use either white vinegar OR lemon juice OR creme of tartar.. whichever I have at hand?
Thank you very much.

Any items what’s to improve??
hi Michael ,I baked your orange sponge cake ,wow it was fantastic and so soft tank u .

Thanks for your great recipe Michael Lim. I like it so much. It was so easy to be followed. But I have a question, doesn't the cake need to be turned over after cooking? To avoid the cake from fell down after cooking.. Or no need to?
Sorry for my broken english*
i did it last night, and it turn out so good for me ( this is my first time baking sponge cake), and i only use traditional oven.. thank you for the recipe and the vidio.. i am really happy :)
Hi, I just bake this cake following your recipe, but my cake didn't grow so high as yours. For the second time I had to use baking powder.
Please don't use baking powder in my sponge recipe. It will not work. I don't recall asking people to use baking powder in the video.
Thanks Michael 👍 chocolate is one of my favourite ingredients in baking. I love chocolate cake, cup cake, brownies etc, yummm.
Thank you for your detailed process.well done. I will try to bake tomorrow.

You can replace oil with melted butter, not milk. Please inform yourself, there is a different between oil and milk.
Hi. This looks wonderful. Can you tell me the ingredients in ml and also, why haven't you used baking power here?
Marry Christmas mr. Liem.
can i use cake flour for this recipe?
thanks
If I do the chiffon cake way,i.e. mixed the yolks and the rest of the ingredients,then fold in the meringue, will the result/texture be the same?!
Your receipts are great and easy to follow. My question is how to alter the ingredients in different size baking pan? Like my pan is 9 inches(around 22cm). Thank you.
I double the ingredients for pan size 24cm. For pan size 22cm just add 75% more ingredients. That means you need to use 7 eggs. I think you are able and capable to do the calculation yourself.
Michel your recipes are awesome. It just works out like magic. I confidently try out your recipes ,coz I know it never fails.
