This recipe for a Dark Chocolate Sponge Cake was shared with me by my good friends at Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil. You will find the original recipe on their own
website as well as my version below. I first made it in April when it was be a good use of surplus Easter chocolate. Although it is a very simple and delicious Chocolate Sponge Cake for any time of year. Once you have mastered the cake recipe you can then make subtle changes to the filling and topping as you see fit.
The main difference in this Chocolate Sponge recipe is the use of Rapeseed Oil instead of the traditional butter or baking spread as the fat. This was the first time I had baked using rapeseed oil but I am converted. Fear not, you will not notice the difference and the result is a bit healthier for you! The recipe also uses the all-in-one method so is very simple and foolproof.
