Chocolate-Flecked Sponge Cake
If you love chocolate but can’t decide between a vanilla sponge cake or a chocolate sponge cake, then this Chocolate-Flecked Sponge Cake is the perfect choice!
It gives you the best of both worlds—a light and fluffy vanilla sponge with finely grated dark chocolate woven throughout, creating a beautiful balance of flavors in every bite.
What makes this cake so special is the way the grated chocolate melts just enough to blend into the batter while still holding its shape, so you can see and taste those tiny flecks of chocolate throughout the cake.
This gives the sponge a unique texture—soft and fluffy, yet with subtle bursts of chocolate in every bite. It’s so delicious, you could eat it on its own—no frosting needed!
But if you want to take it to the next level, you can fill it with chocolate whipped cream or any cream-based filling for an extra indulgent treat. Cut both layers in half to create four thinner layers, giving you even more room for delicious filling.
This cake also freezes beautifully for up to three months, so you can always have a chocolatey sponge cake ready to go.
Whether you enjoy it plain or layered with cream, it’s absolutely delicious!
