Chocolate Sponge Cake Sheet

What you will need ~

  • Large Mixing bowl
  • Electric Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Large spoon
  • 1 Rectangular  Baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Ingredients ~

  • 150 gm Self Raising Flour
  • 150 gm Caster Sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp. Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 150 gm Butter
  • 60 gm Coco Powder
  • 3 Large Eggs (Free range because we love chickens!)
  • 3 Tbsp. of Milk
  • 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

Method~ 

  • Preheat your oven to 170 degrees celsius.
  • Line your baking tray with parchment paper. Allow the parchment paper to hang over the sides slightly as this will help you remove the sheet easily at a later stage.
  • In your large mixing bowl, whisk both the butter and sugar together until it's nice and fluffy.
  • Crack in your eggs one by one, and mix again on a high speed until fully combined.
  • Gently pour in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, and coco powder, and mix again on a low speed. 
  • Add in your milk and vanilla extract and mix again on a low speed until all ingredients are combined fully.
  • Using your spatula, scrape all of the chocolate cake batter into your baking tray and spread evenly.
  • Gently bang the tray a couple of times on the counter top to ensure any air bubbles are released and the mixture is evenly distributed in the tray.
  • Pop into your oven on the middle shelf and bake for 12 - 15 minutes until the cake sheet is baked in full, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  • When baked, remove fromthe oven and leave it to cool slightly before transferring the cake sheet to your wire rack to cool fully.
