Simultaneously moist and lighter than air, sponge cakes have a buoyancy that many other desserts lack. Add some chocolate to the batter, though, and sponge cake gets a dose of indulgence. The lightness in classic sponge cake comes from the use of multiple eggs and mechanical leavening, which allows air bubbles to expand in the oven. However, there are a few more liberal sponge cakes that include baking soda or baking powder, guaranteeing the batters' capability to rise. These chocolate sponge cake recipes may be light in texture, but they still have a good degree of chocolatey flavor.
