Hi All,
CHOCOLATE SPONGE CAKE!! I made this cake for my neighbour's birthday.When I made blackforest cake for my husband's birthday ,our neighbour uncle booked for this cake.

  2. In your food processor add sugar and powder it , then add butter and beat till creamy.
  3. Then crack open a egg to processor and beat till foamy.Then next egg ,like wise add one egg at a time and beat till foamy.

  9. Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 to 40 mins , until the toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let the cake cool down to room temperature.
  11. Invert from pan , slice gently as the cake will be very very soft.
  12. Enjoy soft , moist cake .
  13. I frosted the cake with chocolate cream(will share the recipe soon) and served.


NOTES :
  1. All the ingredients except water must be in room temperature.
  2. As I don't have electric beater , I used food processor ( mixie) to beat eggs and butter.You can use electric beater too in that case use powdered sugar(castor sugar).
  3. While adding water be careful , add little by little to form ribbon consistency only.
  4. After 30 mins of baking ,insert a knife or toothpick and check for clean and extent baking time accordingly as baking time may vary from oven to oven.
