Instructions

Beat 6 eggs (no need to separate them) with sugar until batter is three times in volume. This will take roughly 10 minutes in a stand mixer, longer if using a hand mixer.
Sift flour and cocoa powder into the egg mixture.
Using a spatula, carefully fold in dry ingredients. Be very gentle with the dough so you don’t over mix it and lose all the fluffiness.
Add cake batter to an oiled or parchment paper lined baking sheet. A springform baking pan works amazing as well and makes the transferring process that much easier. Aim to use a pan that is 9-12 inches is diameter.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Do the toothpick check to gauge doneness. Use in your favorite desserts that require chocolate sponge. The possibilities are endless!

Notes

Notes:

This recipe doesn’t need baking soda or baking powder. The leavening agent is the air that is beat into the batter.
