Chocolate Sponge Cake

While my kids are in the pool, I made this chocolate sponge cake for their tea time. And of course for myself because I was watching them under the roof in this hot weather. I am not playing but I need to be there in case anything happen. 

I do own a chiffon mold but I packed it up so I only use those round 7'' pan. The look was not so pretty but my boys love them so much as much as I do. While watching them I am enjoying my piece of cake.

Let see the recipe below. I am still using the recipe from my Pandan Sponge Cake. What I do is just changed the pandan juice to cocoa powder and stay on to the sweetness at 65g.

It was all gone in one night.

They are happily playing in the pool while mummy is sweating looking at them under the hot weather. Although this is how I spent my weekend with the boy but all the hard work in baking is totally worth it after they are tired from playing, they get hungry and started to look for food.

This was finished in a day and I bake another sponge cake later in the night for tomorrow breakfast.
