Chocolate Sponge Cake



















Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 tb vanilla
- 1 tb butter
- Pinch of salt
- 1/8 cup cocoa powder

Directions:

1. Separate the whites of the eggs and beat them good until stiff. While beating them add 1/4 cup sugar slowly until it's good and foamy.

2. Now get to the yellow of the 6 eggs. Also beat them until good and stiff and add 1/4 cup of sugar.

3. Sift together flour, cocoa and salt in medium bowl. Gently stir flour mixture into yolk mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, just until flour mixture disappears.

4. Cut and fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

5. Gently spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake at 325°C for 15-20 minutes. Cool before using cookie cutters.



















Notes: Made this for my family's valentines dessert. The cake failed to rise.
