Simple Chocolate Sponge Cake

Came back from work today and made this simple Chocolate Sponge cake. Was hoping it will rise nicely and not crack at the top. Luckily I was not disappointed although it has a slight dome in the centre. This recipe is modified from Aunty Yochana's Simple Sponge Cake as I prefer a chocolate version.

Ingredients:

4 eggs

120 gm sugar

85 gm cake flour

15 gm cocoa powder

65 gm cornoil  

Method:

(1) Whisk eggs and sugar till light and fluffy.

(2) Fold in the cake flour and cocoa powder lightly taking care not to deflate the eggs.

(3) Pour in cornoil and stir lightly.

(4) Pour into a 8" round cake tin and bake at 175C for about 40 mins or till a skewer comes out clean.

It looks fluffy just that there is a slight dome at the centre. I definitely need more practice to get an even level sponge cake.
