Low Fat Chocolate Sponge Cake image

If you're looking for a single layer of light moist sponge with depth of flavour you can't go wrong with this recipe. I tend to use Green & Blacks' organic cocoa powder (dutched) for best results. If you're watching your waistline but have a sweet tooth, this is quite a tasty little number which won't massively compromise your diet.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cake was dense and dry, and the chocolate flavor was barely there.
