Lush sponge cake without baking powder

Step 1

The ingredients (I have less than that, because I was preparing a small biscuit). The butter should be melted in a water bath or in the microwave and leave to cool. Flour mixed with cocoa until smooth.

Step 2

Beat eggs in a bowl, mix and put in a water bath. They should be warm, but overheating them is impossible!

Step 3

Add sugar and beat...

Step 4

...to obtain a white fluffy mass. While it will increase somewhere in 2 times. It will take about 10 minutes. The egg mass should keep good form.

Step 5

If necessary, shift the weight into another bowl. There sift the flour with cocoa and mix gently with a spoon till all lumps. Then a thin stream pour the cooled butter and again a little to prevent it.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the molds and bake in the oven at 180 C for 40 minutes.

Step 7

The finished cake to cool, then cut into cakes. Cakes turn out porous and very delicate! (Though I have them turned out not very chocolate, a little cocoa added)
Bon appetit!
