Hi friends, welcome back to my blog. Hope you all are well. Today I am sharing the most easiest and the softest chocolate sponge cake recipe that you would have ever tried. This Chocolate sponge cake comes out soft and delicious and my family simply loved it. This is one of the best eggs and oil based sponge cakes that I have ever baked at home.
You can serve this Chocolate sponge cake as a Tea cake with tea or coffee in the evenings or frost it with butter cream, chocolate or whipped cream or any other frosting of your choice.
Also you can double or triple the proportion of ingredients to make a layer cake as well. Since this is a basic chocolate sponge cake recipe, you can also add dry fruits, nuts or chocolate chips in the batter for added taste.
I have used normal granulated sugar in the recipe. But you can also powder the sugar and add to the eggs. You can also use brown sugar. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.
Note: I have used a 180 ml measuring cup/ normal tea cup for measuring the ingredients.
So, let's move on to the recipe of making Soft and Spongy Chocolate cake at home.

1 and 1/2 cup All purpose flour/ Maida

1/2 cup oil (I have used sunflower oil)
2 eggs

Method
