Wow thank you😁 Glad you enjoyed it!!
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!
I'm so glad!! Thank you for letting me know😊❤️
Looks amazing!😍 Which oil did you use?
❤love this recipe ! Made it first time mixing by hand and woow
Thank you!
Your little girl is so cute lol, what a great taste tester she is. 😊
Thank you🤗
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
Hi tried the cake and it's awesome... Can u pl do fudge brownie recipe for us
Thank you so much for your great recipe 🎉can we use this recipe for chocolate swiss Roll also?
Lol the way she devoured the cake can tell its delicious 😂 Thank you so much for this recipe ❤
My pleasure!😊
The next time i make cake its going to be so hard to choose between this one and the other chocolate cake recipe you just came out with as well 😋
Thank you! hope you try this one sometime and see which one you like better🤗
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.
Tried it! Moist, spongy and amazing! Everyone loved it❤ i made 9” one for ~23mins.
I always worry when baking chocolate cakes or brownies but this one was easy and sooooo good! Gone in 10mins. Everyone devoured it😂
Looks great Aya! Probably good with vanilla ice cream.
Yum!😋
Hi A 🎉im delighted to see this video its pass midnight here where i live i have to wake up early cant sleep,but then i watch your baking so soothing 😂its real weird how it calms me maybe because i love love cake especially chocolate 😊❤
I'm so glad to hear the video is soothing💓 I agree, baking is like watching nature, they are so beautiful to look at!! Hope you got enough sleep though😉
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!
Thank you for trying both and share the experience!! I'm so glad you liked this one😌 It became my new fav too!
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.
That sounds soo delicious! I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe with your creativity. Thank you for sharing the result!
I promise pictures next time.
Today I will be making the strawberry chiffon cake.
I dont have 2 of the pots for water and I am wondering if I can put 2 pots of water on the lower level, underneath my cake pans.
Gonna make it now for my birthday is today♥️ but can I substitute milk with alternatives?
I tried your recipe and my chocolate cake turned soo...good am so happy... thank you so much..💝
I'm SO glad!! Thank you for sharing it💓😊
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
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!
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.
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.
Looks absolutely fantastic yum💜🎂
Thank you!
@@PastryLivingwithAya you're very welcome sweetie 💕
❤❤❤
Perfect well aya which state do u live in😊😊
Thank you for the video! ❤ Can’t wait to try it!! How long do you wait to wrap the cake with plastic after it comes out of the oven? Do you think the temperature of the cake matters at all?
You can wrap once as soon as it cools down completely!
Hi! Can I use butter instead of oil? 😊
Request red velvet sponge cake pls..
I do stop talking just appreciate you dear friend 🌹🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
hi, can you give recipe for ready made sponge cake dry ingredient? like those sold in ingredient shop?
This is a great recipe. This might seen silly to say but you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. I know that’s cliche, but I mean it.
Could you stack this cake with a chocolate mousse layer ?
I got excited with this video. I am going to try this for sure. Can I make request please? A full video on proper storage of cakes, temperature change that affect cake... A lot of cake group, including myself lol, has had the same dilemma how to store it properly, the humidity etc ... Thank you so much!
I hope you'll like it! And thank you for the request😊
Can i douple this recipe?
Maybe i'll try this recipe mixing separately egg yolks milk oil cocoa and flour and then add the egg white and sugar meringue,should hold up better for my opinion,thank you for the recipe Aya 😊
My pleasure!
Hi!im a beginners in baking but when i saw all ur video tutorials now i can bake can i make this also for cupcakes?thank u always
I'm happy to hear that😌 Yes you can, bake a lot shorter time for them (It should take about 9-14 mins)
Great recipe! Excellent instructions!
No vanilla?
You can add it a little bit if you like!
Aya, are your oven temperatures fan forced? Your tutorials and recipes are outstanding. Thank-you
Thank you! I like to use a convection mode with fan.
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.😊
Amiga, para pionero no hace falta leudante!..
Pero sí, para Bizcochos!!
Polvo de hornear,
O harina leudante!
😋😋🇦🇷
i forgot to add baking powder😭😭😭 i added it when i had poured my batter into the mold i sprinkled it all over then gave it a gentle mix with a whisk then i poped the bobbles what do you think of my strategy
Can I get measurements in spoon or cup plz
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?
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!
Thank you Aya for this wonderful recipe. There is oil and oil. What oil do you use when you bake this cake? Thank you ❤
I only use olive oil for baking but you can use any regular oil such as vegetable oil, canola oil, etc.
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?
I haven't tried it yet but it might works!
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?
A good sister!😁 The calories are listed in the printable recipe in my blog post. (The link is in the description!)
If i use 1 batch for 10 inch pan, will baking time be 25mins? 😮
What is the substitute of eggs? can anyone tell please?
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 …
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!
@@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.
Can I use this for cupcakes ?
Yes!
Being cake flour bit expensive here in Bhutan... We maximum using All purpose flour.. Can you make one chocolate sponge recipe using All purpose flour?
For every cup all purpose flour, remove 2 tbsp. Of flour and replace with 2 tbsp low gluten starch, such as corn starch or rice flour.
My mixture of cocoa powder, oil, salt and milk were not mixing well.. had a hard time mixing oil with it… May I ask the reason why ?? Oil seems to separate
Was the size of the baking pan 8inches by 2 inches?
Yes, 8 inch by about 2.1 inch.
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!
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!
@@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.
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!!!
@@PastryLivingwithAya Aya, thank you for being so helpful trying to source my problems, in fact, i noticed that I was actually not using 1.5 batch receipe but 1.5 batch of the 1/2 batch receipe...I recalculated everything and it seems there was no mistake, but it does seem weird that i bake it for so long...there must have been something wrong that I did but didn't notice, wonder if over whipping the eggs would cause any trouble or maybe I wasn't accurate enough with adding the baking powder.. below is the receipe I used:
3 eggs
105g sugar
42g milk
42g oil
Salt a pinch
21g Cocoa powder
60g cake flour
1/4+1/8 tsp Baking powder

Hi ,do you have any vegan sponge recipe ?
I don't have it yet!
If I want to make it dairy free what can I substitute the milk with?
I haven't tried it but you might be able to alternate it with soy milk!
Mam eggless vanilla sponge please 🤌🏻
Tried this today, very fluffy and airy, but lacks chocolate taste..
I wondered. It looks like it's a slightly chocolate flavored souffle.
Look the type of chocolate that you are using I did it and was 100% 👌
I wanna try it and ad some chocolate like small chops of chocolate tiny lil once that will melt and give it more taste
Heyy... Can i double the ingridients of the 1st batch... I want the big one
Yes you can!

Hi please can you make a red velvet cake with Ermine frosting on your RUclips channel please
Thanks for the request!
Question, why do you need to fold and bake it quickly as possible?
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.
Hi can you please make measurements equivalent to cups. ☺️
it's better to use grams measurements when baking
Are the quantities correct for the metric system? They don’t seem to be…
It's correct😊
Hey, can someone help me translate the pan measurments to cm..? It is so confusing! I have a pan which is 25 cm in diameter, but when i search it says that it is 9 inches but in this recipe the smallest is 6 but it looks the same? Someone please help
One batch of the recipe is enough for 1 8” or 2 6” cakes which is 1 20-cm or 2 15-cm cakes.
Genoise?
Yes!
My 100% guaranteed every single time so if you’re going to make Italian meringue or French meringue or something totally different I always wash my stand mixer’s bowl and all of the different attachments 3 times and never 👎 in the dishwasher I just wash 🧼 them with hot soapy water wash 1 then rinse and repeat another 2 times and I dry them by hand and I only use a clean tea towel and there you have my 100% guaranteed for whipping meringue or whatever you prefer and that it does what it’s meant to do as it took me 1 time for a large meringue I was making for Christmas and my first dessert since I just got married and I wanted to act all grown up and a good little wife ( I’m showing my age as I don’t think like that no more) and I made it in the early evening and I was more and mixing and I mixed and no matter how long or how hard I tried it wasn’t rising to the occasion and sadly I baked it left in the oven and was allowed to cool and now at the family Christmas lunch my poor pav was hidden by rivers of whipped cream and a assortments of fresh fruit heavy on the passion fruit I cringed when it was time to serve my failed meringue and I swore that from that day on I was going to wash my bowl and all attachments and still do
Hello, Aya !
Great job, very appetizing and original Cake recipe! I give you BIG-BIG LIKE! Try my new pancakes 🥞and message me if you like it! I wish you new culinary victories, see you on RUclips...
Thank you😊🙏🏻
Problem is that not everyone has a SUPER DUPER mixer like you , itried it with small onse and didn't worked.
Thanks!
