Chocolate Sponge Cake

The photo posted on Sweet Crumbs attracted me to try out this recipe ^.^, go take a look.

Weird huh... why this has became small tiny cupcake? hahaaa.. cause daughter wanted to help, so, I let her scoop the batter into the cupcake instead of pouring all the batter into 8"-pan :)

The texture and taste of the sponge cake was just nice, is a keeper. Not too sweet is the reason why I would note down the recipe here for future reference ^.^
