Preparation and key steps
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan-assisted) before starting.
- Mix the powder with eggs and water according to the dosage chart on the packaging and the size of the pan.
- Whisk for long enough to incorporate air and achieve an airy crumb during baking.
- Place in the oven immediately after whisking to prevent the volume from decreasing.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing into layers for a layer cake or Black Forest cake.
Please note: For vanilla, strawberry, lemon, or pistachio desserts where a customizable neutral base is preferable, FUNCAKES Deluxe Sponge Cake Mix (plain) is a better choice than this chocolate version, which already has a pronounced flavor.
