Chocolate sponge cake is always one of the most delicious and versatile desserts, as they always come in handy, especially for breakfast and as a snack.
Today we offer you an amazing recipe: juicy cocoa and cream cheese sponge cake, A gluten-free recommendation for a snack or a breakfast consisting of heavy chocolate. There are more and more people who are gluten intolerant so we should consider options for everyone because all cocoa lovers deserve to enjoy it.
This is a spongy and very dense sponge cake, brownie style, because it uses cocoa, not chocolate. And the cornstarch is replaced with wheat flour, which is slightly different in texture but just as rich. A recipe with spreadable cream cheese that makes it more juicy.
As our colleagues at Directo al Paladar explain, depending on the type of cocoa you have at home or buy, the color of the cake is more or less intense and the flavor can also vary. We recommend you buy 100% cocoa without sugar, sweetener and added starch or flavoring.
The first thing we need to do is preheat the oven to 180ºC by reducing it and grease a rectangular mold of about 20 cm or with oil and flour.
Beat the eggs with sugar in a deep bowl, beat the cream cheese a little and drain and add any liquid to soften it. Whisk until combined and add the oil and vanilla, mix everything together and whisk some more.
You also need to mix the cocoa with cornstarch, yeast and salt and add everything little by little to the main dough (as mentioned above), passing everything through a sieve. Finally, beat at low speed to obtain a homogeneous mass, fill the mold and put it in the oven for 45 minutes.
Be careful not to overflow the cake. When the baking time is over, you should take it out and let it cool, and when it’s ready, you should take it out of the mold and make it ready for your taste and heart.
