Moist and decadent chocolate sponge cake is an absolute delight for any chocolate lover. However, achieving the perfect level of moisture can be a bit tricky. Don’t worry, though! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you exactly how to moisturize your chocolate sponge cake, ensuring a deliciously moist and irresistible result.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Step 1: Preparing the Cake Batter

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.

Gradually add the boiling water to the batter while continuing to mix. The batter will be thin, but that’s exactly what you want to achieve a moist sponge cake.

Step 2: Baking the Cake

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.

Step 3: Moisturizing with Chocolate Syrup

To make your chocolate sponge cake extra moist, we will add a delicious chocolate syrup. Here’s how:

  • In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup water and ½ cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
  • Add ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and stir until well combined.
  • Remove from heat and let the chocolate syrup cool for a few minutes.

Step 4: Assembling the Cake

Once the cakes have cooled slightly, gently remove them from the pans and place them on wire racks to cool completely.

Using a fork or a skewer, poke several holes all over the top of each cake layer. This will allow the chocolate syrup to seep in, adding moisture.

Slowly pour the chocolate syrup over the top of each cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.

Once the cakes have absorbed the syrup, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Add a layer of your favorite frosting or whipped cream and place the second layer on top.

Frost the outside of the cake with your desired frosting and decorate as desired.
