PERFECT CHOCOLATE SPONGE CAKE

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients and measure them before starting. Sift the 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and tbsps of butter.
• Prep: For easy cleanup and removal of the cake, line an 8"x2"-inch baking pan (Note 1) with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Wet the cake strip and fasten it around the bottom of the cake pan.Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the center of the oven.
• Whip eggs: Add 4 eggs and a pinch of salt to a mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment and whip the eggs until slightly foamy. Slowly pour 3/4 cup sugar into the eggs and continue whipping for about 15 minutes or until the mixture forms a ribbon that doesn't disappear for about 3 seconds when you lift off the whisk.
• Fold in flour: Add the flour mixture into the whipped eggs in halves and carefully fold until almost no streaks of flour are seen. (To fold: use a large spoon or spatula and go under the batter, then bring it over as you invert the spoon to pour the batter on top). Do not over-mix or the cake will be dense.
• Add the melted butter and carefully fold until all butter is incorporated. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the lined and greased baking pan and quickly swirl the pan back and forth couple of times to even out the batter.

• Cool: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow to sit inside the pan for 5 minutes before removing it.Then, remove it from the pan and invert it straight onto the cooling rack, then peel off the foil or parchment paper and allow to cool completely before using it in cakes.
