To prepare a good orange and chocolate sponge cake at home it is essential to follow the quantities to the letter but also to control very well the oven of each one, you have to know how to understand their times and temperatures and is that the situation varies greatly from one oven to another.
Ingredients
Eggs, 2 units Sugar, 170 g Whole milk, 120 ml Orange juice, 100 ml Baking powder, 10 g Flour, 250 g Mild olive oil, 115 ml Salt, a pinch Orange zest, 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips, 100 g
Ingredients
Eggs, 2 units Sugar, 170 g Whole milk, 120 ml Orange juice, 100 ml Yeast, 10 g Flour, 250 g Mild olive oil, 115 ml Salt, a pinch Orange zest, 1 tablespoon Chocolate chips, 100 g
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160ºC. Beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened.
Step 2
Add the milk, orange juice, zest and oil to this mixture and stir well.
Step 3
Mix in another bowl the flour with the baking powder and salt.
Step 4
Add the flour mixture to the other mixture and mix with the help of a whisk, without over beating. Finally, add the chocolate chips to the base of our orange sponge cake.
Step 5
Butter a cake pan, optionally place a baking paper (it makes it easier to unmold), and pour the mixture. Place in the oven and cook for 45-50 minutes, until the skewer comes out completely clean.
Tricks
The good thing about sponge cakes is that they are very easy to prepare and can be made with the little ones in the house so that they have a fun time.
The combination is undoubtedly a winner and this orange and chocolate sponge cake with the finishing touch of olive oil will please everyone but you could certainly delete the chocolate chips and you could change the orange for lemon, for example.
The most important thing is not to open the oven once the cake is in it and not to beat the mixture of ingredients in excess, it is key that for the cakes we only stir enough until all the ingredients are well integrated, and that’s it.
If we see that the cake gets too toasted on top, we can cover it with some aluminum foil, always having spent more than 30 minutes since the cooking started.
