Instructions to make Chocolate Sponge Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 180c/160c Fan/Gas Mark 4. - Line the bottom of two (20cm) sandwich/cake tins with greaseproof paper or oil them.
2. In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. - Gradually beat in the eggs and if the mixture starts to curdle, add a little flour. - Mix in the remaining flour and the cocoa powder with a spoon.
3. Divide the mixture evenly between the tins (first time I made this I transferred the mixture into a measuring jug and scooped half the measurement into each tin). - Level and smooth the mixture in each tin with a palette knife. - Bake for 25-30 mins until firm to the touch. - Set aside to cool for 5 mins. - Run a palette knife around the inside edge of the tins and carefully turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack.
4. MOUSSE: - Place the chocolate in a bowl and melt over a pan of gently simmering water (do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water). - Stir continuously, taking care not to let the chocolate get too hot or split. - Whip the double cream, carefully fold in the melted chocolate until smooth and not streaky. - To learn how to make whipped cream using double cream, check out my double cream recipe.
5. When the cake is cool (approx 1-2 hours), you can put your desired filling (cream, mousse, jam, etc) on the flat side of of the cakes. - Put the two sides of the cake together and decorate on top as desired. - I personally either: - Put mousse in the middle and on top - or - Put jam and cream in the middle and mousse on top. - You can level the mousse on top with a palette knife. - Chocolate orange mousse is good.
