Описание: Chocolate Sheet Cake is just an easy peasy bake and the kind that everyone enjoys, it’s unfussy and simply delicious.

Chocolate Sponge Cake by @fehmz with recipe from my mum’s old handwritten recipe book so no idea of its origins, I’m sure everyone has this recipe somewhere credited to an aunt or granny 🥰❤️

5 eggs
310ml (1.25 cups) castor sugar
10ml vanilla essence
250ml hot water
1 tsp instant coffee
6 heaped tsp hot chocolate powder (optional)
60ml cocoa powder (0.25 cup)
Pinch of salt
125ml oil
500ml (2 cups) flour
25ml (5 tsp) baking powder

Turn on your oven to 180degC

Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla to your mixing bowl and whisk on medium high speed until light and fluffy!
Combine your water with the coffee, salt, cocoa powder and hot chocolate powder.
Sift together the flour and baking powder.

To your fluffy eggs, pour the oil in while it’s whisking in a steady stream. Now add the chocolate mix and the flour mix in 3 batches and mix until just combined. Do NOT overmix the flour.

Pour into a greased and lined sheet cake pan (40cm x 25cm or thereabouts) and bake in a preheated oven of 180degC for 15mins.

Let it cool completely and top with a spreadable ganache (1 cup cream to 1.5 cups chocolate)

Decorate as desired. Enjoy!
