The cocoa cake is very simple to make. I propose this cake that has a texture very similar to that of sponge cake, very spongy and well suited to be filled with cream or jam like the Delicious Cocoa Cake. A great cocoa cake on its own, to be enjoyed in the morning or for a good snack, maybe accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Let’s start Baking, Happy recipe.

Steps
With the help of electric beaters, beat the eggs for 5 minutes and then start to add the sugar gradually, beating for another 3 minutes.
Once we have obtained our fluffy and voluminous mixture, start adding the flour by working with a spatula from bottom to top.
Also add the unsweetened cocoa and baking powder, it’s important to work gently with a spatula or hand whisk from bottom to top.
Butter and flour or line a cake pan with parchment paper and pour in the creamy mixture obtained.
Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes. After this time, perform the toothpick test; if it comes out dry, it’s ready, otherwise extend the baking time by 5 minutes. Let the cocoa cake cool completely inside the pan.

For successful preparation, it’s important that the eggs are at room temperature. If you store them in the fridge, just put them in a bowl with warm water for a few minutes.
