    I made it and it is delicious. Sliced for morning with a cup of hot corrado..
    But,i glam it up for a friends get together dinner . I am big in presentation so I picked off white square dinner plates, sprinkled the plate with just a touch of cocoa powder. Cut the cake in square, I pulverized hazelnuts into fine powder on top. I caramelized ripped Turkish figs, and add 3 slices on top . Then just drizzle white chocolate on top of all and a bit on plate.
    Simple ingredients but done with precision to create the main block . I love that , to get something unique and a simple basic recipe to excitment when is served. I believe in Being creative with color, combining textures and lastly considering the vessel or /and composing the plate as you would a painting .
    Thank you very much for sharing your recipe and your family and I did you proud.
    Thank you.

    Hi Aya 👋🏻, I just finished baking 2 x 6” cakes and just froze them for cream cheese frosting next week. They are so tall, light and very fluffy, so I’m wondering if they can withstand cream cheese frosting between the cakes when I stack them together? Another question, I have a small handheld mixer and can’t seemed to beat it to your very pale and fluffy consistency, so I beat for a long time . Is it possible to overbeat at this stage? And how long approximately shld I beat it? I think I beat maybe 7-8 mins. Thank you …

    I made this sponge and it was great, though admittedly I changed one thing, which was to use 1/8 tsp baking soda instead of powder. I like baking soda because it counteracts the acidity in cocoa better than baking powder. The cake rose beautifully and is very light and fluffy, and yes, very moist.

    Hi, I only have one 9" cake tin, but I want to make one cake tall enough to cut in half and put frosting in the middle. Do you think I should do 1.5 times the batter?

    Thank you so much… I was waiting for a chef like you to teach me clearly on baking… Finally here you are…. I tried vanilla version of yours but by using all purpose flour and it came out perfectly and I tried chocolate version but might be due to the size of egg or.. I might made mistakes… It came out height short..
    Hope it would work well

    I made it last night and it came out PERFECT!! Light, fluffy, moist and a good chocolate taste! I think my oven (that's vintage haha) was a bit hotter than it should, so it was done 13 min earlier – I noticed by the edge that the oven was too hot and STILL, it came out perfect! Great recipe, thank you for sharing!
