Chocolate sponge cake in boiling water in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chocolate biscuit in boiling water? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix flour, preferably “Extra” or “Premium”, with baking powder and soda. Mix everything and sift through a fine sieve into a bowl. This will help get rid of debris, if there was any, and saturate the flour with oxygen, which will make the sponge cake fluffier.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add cocoa flour to the bowl and stir. It is best to take pure, premium cocoa. Hot chocolate mixes or ready-made cocoa are not suitable for the drink. It already contains sugar, and the color will be faded and unappetizing.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the eggs to remove dirt, even if it is not visible at first glance. Pour room temperature milk into another bowl and break the eggs. The eggs need to be taken out in advance so that they are at room temperature, then the sponge cake will turn out more fluffy.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a bowl with milk and eggs. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until smooth. Use refined oil so that its taste does not predominate in the finished biscuit. You can use any vegetable oil you like, but don't forget that many of them have a very strong aroma.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sugar, salt to the bowl and mix everything well.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sift the flour mixture into the bowl with the liquid part again and stir until smooth so that there are no lumps.

8. STEP 8

   

   Continuing to stir, pour in boiling water and stir until smooth. The dough turns out quite liquid, but that's how it should be.

9. STEP 9

   

   There is a little trick to prevent the finished sponge cake from becoming a “hump” after baking. Cut the baking foil and paper towel slightly larger than the pan in which you will bake the sponge cake. Wet the towel and place it half the width of the foil. Fold the foil in half, covering the paper towel with the edges tucked in.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grease a baking dish with a diameter of 20 centimeters with vegetable oil and sprinkle with flour. Cut a circle out of baking paper and place it on the bottom of the pan. Wrap the prepared foil around the mold and secure.

11. STEP 11

    

    Pour the biscuit dough into the pan and tap it lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles that could spoil the finished biscuit.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place in a hot oven and bake at 180 degrees. The time can be from 30 minutes to one hour, it all depends on the diameter of the mold and the oven itself. Bake the biscuit until a skewer comes out dry when you insert it into the biscuit. Remove the cake from the oven and leave in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and leave on a wire rack to cool completely.

13. STEP 13

    

    You can simply serve it by cutting it into pieces. Or cut into cakes, coat with cream and make a gorgeous cake. Bon appetit.

I wanted to please my family with a delicious sweet pie. On the vastness of the site I found a recipe for chocolate sponge cake in boiling water in the oven. At first it was not clear why the dough should be boiled in case it would curl up. But after preparing this unusual chocolate sponge cake, it became clear that there was no need to be afraid. And you definitely need to bake it! I followed the recipe, didn’t change anything, and thanks to the detailed description, everything worked out. There is quite a lot of dough; if you use a sponge cake for a cake, it will turn out big) I baked it in a rectangular cake pan. The sponge cake turned out tall, porous, airy and at the same time juicy! It is absolutely not dry. The taste and aroma are richly chocolate. The biscuit is incredibly delicious! Our family of five destroyed it in one evening) Unrealistically delicious and chocolatey! I recommend it, don't pass it by!
