Eggless Chocolate Sponge

A simple sponge cake can form the base for a variety of luscious desserts. Plain or fancy, a basic sponge cake can be employed to produce desserts for occasions ranging from a simple family meal to a show stealing birthday cake. Whatever the recipe, a basic sponge cake has to be moist, soft and tender. A dry, crumbly, flat cake will make the dessert very unappetizing.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 30 to 35 minutes.
Baking Temperature: 180ºC (360ºF)

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups plain flour (maida)
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
