High and perfect cocoa sponge cake. Today I share with you the perfect recipe, the high and perfect cocoa sponge cake. The height of the sponge cake depends on two factors: the mold you use and the perfect whipping of the sugar with the eggs. Everything depends on this. Usually the first thing they ask me when they read my sponge cake recipe is but don’t you put yeast on it? The answer is punctually no. In the sponge cake, whether it is simple or cocoa or with any other powder, it is made without yeast, because if you work it properly it grows in height without any need for yeast. Another very important thing when making the sponge cake is to never open the oven to check when the cake is cooking. Well friends this can be a base for any type of cake, I made a delicious coconut cake and I assure you that it didn’t even last half a day. But if you want you can enjoy the sponge cake with just some icing sugar on top. Try it and let me know!
