Chocolate Sponge Cake - milk

Method

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and 2 tablespoons butter together.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip, combine the eggs and 2 cups sugar together.
• Beat on medium-high speed for about 8 minutes, or until the mixture is pale yellow, thick and has tripled in volume.
• With the machine running slowly add the heated milk.
• In a mixing bowl sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together.
• Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.
• Fold in the vanilla.
• Grease a 1/2 sheet pan with 2 teaspoons of butter.
• Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
• Pour the cake batter evenly into the pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
• Cool for about 2 minutes.
• Using a thin knife, loosen the edges of the cake, then flip onto a wire rack and cool completely.
