Chocolate Sponge Cake:

- 120 gr All Purpose Flour ( 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp)
- 30 gr Cocoa Powder ( 4 tbsp)
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 150 gr Sugar (3/4 cup)
- 5 Egg Yolks
- 5 Egg Whites
- 70 gr WARM milk (10 tbsp WARM Milk)
- 70 gr Butter (5 tbsp )

Soft Ganache Recipe:

- 500 gr Heavy Cream (18 ounces)
- 375 gr Dark Chocolate 50% cocoa (13.5 ounces)
- 2 1/2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 2 1/2 tbsp Butter
- Pinch of Salt

I used 7 x 11 and 10 x 16 inch pans

NOTE: The sponge itself doesn't have a deep chocolate flavor because it's MEANT to be paired with the decadent rich chocolate ganache. This cake sponge is fluffy and light because it was designed to be paired with this ganache, so don't use other fillings. However, if you're looking for a basic rich chocolate cake base, check my channel for those cakes :)
The consistency of your ganache will vary depending on how warm/cold the climate is. If your kitchen is really warm (Example: It's summer where you live), you'll need to put it in the fridge for it to thicken. Keep an eye on it though or the ganache will set up completely. If this does happen, you can microwave it for 20 seconds until it loosens up again.
Do not refrigerate this cake.

Enjoy!

Made this cake about 7-8 months ago, it was DIVINE! Creamy, chocolatey, the ganache was incredible (the bloomed cocoa makes a HUGE difference), and not heavy as I expected. Now I'm back, to make it again <3 Thank you, Emma, for the recipe. You are amazing!

i was looking for a recipe that used less sugar and finally i find a good one :D thank you!

I see what you did here. You love icing cakes SO much that you made it super thin, just so you could apply icing six times in one recipe! CAUGHT!

Great recipe Emma.... I made it for my nephews birthday and everyone was crazy about it. . Used 55 '/' chocolate and used liquide creme ...i put a little bit of syrup on the genoise to balance the bitterness of the chocolate ... and made multiple genoise ... ..PS: the milk and butter have to be warm to be blended thanxxx

Tried this out but with the half the layers. Had to put the ganache in the fridge for about 20 mins cos even overnight didn’t set it for me. Everyone loved it. Thank you so much for this lovely recipe
