A step-by-step recipe for a delicious chocolate biscuit: a list of ingredients and cooking technology. Video recipes.
Chocolate sponge cake is one of the best base for cakes and pastries. Correctly prepared cakes are distinguished by excellent taste, bright aroma and beautiful chocolate shade. The crumb itself is porous. After cooling, it can be easily cut into several layers to use for preparing multi-layered desserts.
In our recipe for chocolate biscuit, there is no need to separate the whites from the yolks and beat the protein mass separately into foam, as is customary in classical technology. However, the result is still a fluffy cake. This can be easily achieved with a few tricks. First, using a mixer to beat the egg and sugar mixture takes a little longer than usual. Secondly, add a baking powder that will prevent the mass from sinking during baking. Thirdly, at the end of the dough kneading process, pour in boiling water.
Chocolate flavor and shade are achieved through the use of cocoa powder and instant coffee. And vegetable oil helps to give a special structure and light moisture.

Step by step preparation of the most delicious chocolate biscuit
1. To prepare a chocolate biscuit for a cake, first mix sifted flour, cocoa, instant coffee and baking powder in a deep container so that all the ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the total mass.
2. Combine eggs with sugar in another deep container. We use a mixer. Initially, you can beat only eggs at low speeds, and then gradually add granulated sugar.
3. Whisk for a total of about 10 minutes. This can be done in a couple of approaches of 5 minutes. The sugar should completely dissolve in the egg mixture. The entire mass will gradually increase by 2, 5-3 times.
4. Then pour in the vegetable oil and bring to homogeneity, so as not to knock down fluffy foam and get a delicious chocolate sponge cake with a porous structure as a result.
5. After that, add the mixture of dry ingredients in small portions, stirring gently each time.
6. Pour in boiling water with constant stirring.
7. Grease the baking dish with oil or cover it with parchment. Pour in the dough and level the surface with a silicone spatula so that a high "cap" does not form during baking. Baking time - 30 minutes at a temperature of 150 degrees.
8. The most delicious chocolate sponge cake is ready! Let it cool before cutting it into layers. For storage, we wrap the cakes in parchment paper to avoid absorbing foreign odors, and send them to the refrigerator. The shelf life is 3-5 days.
