How To Make The Fluffiest Chocolate Sponge Cake

This cake is a particularly light, fluffy and quite tasty Chocolate Sponge Cake. It is made light and fluffy by its incorporation of eggs stiffly beaten into peaks and lightly hand-mixed in with the remaining batter. The incorporation of Strawberry Jell-O introduces a unique and quite tasty flavor into this already fluffy sponge cake. Also, a pretty interesting aspect in creating this tasty recipe is the incorporation of real chocolate- bringing a true unparalleled chocolaty flavor.

These cakes are named sponge cakes because they get their spongy, light, and airy texture from whipped egg whites. Sponge cakes are pretty delicate to make because they require hand folding of the whipped egg whites into the remaining batter to create an airy crumb.
