How to Make Chocolate Hot Milk Sponge
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs with 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until thick and pale yellow (about 5-7 minutes with an electric mixer).
- Add ½ cup vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Beat for another 2 minutes.
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and let it cool slightly. Gently fold it into the egg mixture.
- In a saucepan, heat 1 cup whole milk and 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is just simmering. Remove from heat immediately.
- Gently fold the warm milk mixture into the batter, alternating with the dry ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Prepare the filling:** In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in 2 ounces melted semi-sweet chocolate.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with the whipped chocolate filling and top with the second cake layer.
- Frost the entire cake with your favorite frosting (whipped cream frosting recommended).
- Decorate with white chocolate shavings.
