Ingredients
For the sponge cake
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
- ½ cup of Cocoa
- 6 Eggs (whites separated from yolks)
- 1 ½ cups Sugar
- 3 spoons of Orange juice
- A little Orange zest
For the cream
- 500g Original margarine Charalambides Christis
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of Salt
- 250 g frozen berries
Instructions
- Beat the egg yolks in the mixer bowl and add the sugar. Add the orange juice and zest and slowly add the flour and baking powder.
- In a bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until they turn into a meringue (firm). Add the firm meringue to the flour mixture and mix lightly with a spatula.
- Then add the cocoa and orange zest. Mix well, making circular movements with the spatula.
- Divide the sponge cake into 2 round moulds, 24 cm in diameter, after first smearing them with margarine and sprinkling them with flour. Flatten the surface and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 18-20 minutes.
- When they are ready, take them out of the oven and from the moulds. Keep them aside to cool.
For the cream
- In the bowl of the mixer, whip the margarine with the sugar using the whisk attachment so that it mixes well.
- Then add the vanilla, salt and berries. Whip at high speed for another 5 minutes.
- When the cream is ready, start assembling the cake in layers. Place the sponge cake first and then the cream on top and spread it evenly. Repeat the same procedure for the second layer.
- Finally, garnish and serve your guests.
Tip: You can add syrup to the sponge cakes for more flavour.
