Product Information

Let’s be honest, making cakes is an art form, and unless you’re a natural baker, it takes a few goes to nail that recipe exactly the way the photo in the cookbook shows. That’s why, no matter whether you’re just getting into baking or you’re a seasoned pastry chef moving onto more complex bakes, you want bakeware that’s on your side. This isn't a rich chocolate cake but it tastes very good. It's one of the best cakes I know, because what makes a good cake isn't how elaborate it is but, rather, the quality of the ingredients. If you don't have large eggs, you can revert to the gold standard for this type of cake. Weigh the eggs in their shells then use the same weight of butter, sugar and flour+cocoa (i.e. the flour and cocoa together equals the weight of the eggs). Ring the changes Make a smaller or larger cake The cake keeps well for up to a week in an airtight box – preferably in the fridge. Does a chocolate sponge cake freeze? Deciding what shape your cake is going to be is one thing, but how big are you planning to make it? If you use a cake tin that’s too small, all that lovely cake batter will rise over the sides of the tin. Too big, and the sides shield the cake mix from the oven and slow the baking time right down. That’s why, at Lakeland, our range of cake tins feature all shapes and sizes, from 6 inch cake tins for personal puds, 8 inch cake tins for cakes big enough for two, all the way up to 25cm cake tins that are ideal for making tiered wedding cakes.

Square Cake Tins | Bakeware | Lakeland

This recipe is for an 18cm (7-inch) chocolate cake. To make it bigger or smaller use these quantities, which work for all cakes based on a Victoria Sandwich recipe, including Coffee Cake and Lemon Drizzle Cake. I take a different approach to butter and sometimes use a cheaper brand than I would eat, but I do always use butter because it tastes better and you know what's in it. What if you don't have large eggs? This chocolate sponge cake recipe is a variation on a Victoria Sandwich cake, using the all-in-one method, so it's a nice easy cake to make. Essentially, you just substitute cocoa powder for some of the flour and make it in the usual way. The main thing though is not to use drinking chocolate because it is largely sugar and milk powder.

What equipment do you need?

Recipes for larger layer cakes mix and bake one layer at a time, so you can mix a manageable amount of batter and re-use a single large tin. For coffee buttercream icing, add 2 teaspoons of instant coffee dissolved in as little hot water as it takes. The un-iced cakes can be frozen for up to a month. Wrap and store in an airtight plastic box. What equipment do you need? I tend to make a lot of buttercream for this classic chocolate cake because we like it. You could get away with less, or you could spread a layer over the top as well and run a fork through to get a pattern. Secrets of Success
