Valentine Chocolate Sponge Cake

With an electric mixer, whisk eggs and sugar on HIGH speed for about 5 to 7mins, until the batter doubles in volume. Turn to low speed and whisk for another 1 to 2 minutes. Then add sifted flour and coco powder into the batter. With a spatula, gently fold in the flour until it’s well blended. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool down completely.

Melted chocolate – ½ cup
Whipping cream – 2 cup

Decorate as desired. Mix some pink colour if you like and apply second coat on the cake.
