How should I convert my Victoria sponge to a chocolate sponge?
I generally bake Victoria sponge cake with 6 oz flour. Now to make a chocolate sponge cake do I substitute 2 oz of flour with cocoa powder or do I keep the 6 oz flour and add additional 2 oz cocoa powder.
I have seen some recipes that mention the former and some recipes mention the latter of what I mentioned above. Which of these 2 methods is the best way to prepare a chocolate sponge cake.
Best Answer
Replace 2oz of flour with the cocoa powder. If you add an extra 2oz of dry ingredients, the ratio of wet to dry will be off and you will end up with a dry sponge.

How do you turn a sponge cake into a chocolate cake?
To give our Victoria sponge a delicious chocolate taste, we simply replace some of the flour in the cake mix with cocoa powder. Skip the jam and add melted chocolate in with the buttercream. It creates a light, fluffy chocolate cake.How much flour do you replace with cocoa?
Substitute 1/4 cup (equal to 4 tbsp.) cocoa for 2 tbsp. of general purpose flour in a recipe for cookies or something like nut bread. Unless you're sifting the flour, stir the cocoa into the moist ingredients, especially if the recipe starts with creaming butter and sugar together.Can I add cocoa to vanilla cake mix?
