Print Recipe

Mary Berry Chocolate Sponge Cake is a classic two-layer chocolate sponge filled and topped with chocolate buttercream or icing.

The sponge is light and fluffy because the butter and sugar are creamed together, creating air in the batter. Cocoa powder gives the cake its chocolate flavor, while eggs and flour provide structure.
