But what if you make a chocolate sponge cake in a slow cooker?
This will require less time and will reduce the possibility of failure to a minimum.
General principles of making chocolate sponge cake in a multicooker
The main thing when preparing a biscuit is a thorough preparation of the dough.
First, for making chocolate sponge cake in a slow cooker, you need to take only sifted flour. Many housewives sift flour immediately after purchase, before pouring it into the jar. But for a lush chocolate biscuit in a slow cooker, this is not enough. Flour for this baking must be sifted once or twice just before cooking, in order to saturate it with air.
By the way, cocoa also doesn’t hurt to sift: there are often lumps in it, which are better managed in advance.
Secondly, eggs, which are used for chocolate biscuit in a slow cooker, should be slightly colder than room temperature. They must be divided into whites and yolks and whisk separately. First, the yolks should be mixed with a mixer until the mass is approximately doubled, half of the sugar is filled up and beaten well again. Then the proteins are also whipped with a mixer until the increase in 3 times, sugar is added, everything is again whipped. Only after the egg mixture is fully prepared, one should gradually add flour mixed with cocoa into it, but now the mixer should be set at a low speed, and you can completely interfere with the dough manually.
Thirdly, the baking mold for chocolate sponge cake in the microwave must be prepared in advance so that you can immediately pour the finished dough into it. The form must be kept warm, wiped dry, smeared with oil and sprinkled with something: flour, decoy, crackers ...
The form needs to be filled only by two thirds, because in the process of cooking the biscuit will increase in volume very significantly. Make sure that the rised biscuit does not close the valve and thus does not disturb the circulation of warm air, otherwise the whole product will fall off and be badly baked. Sometimes soda, baking powder or starch are added to the dough for chocolate sponge cake in a multicooker. It is not at all necessary to do this, but if you do decide, then pre-mix these ingredients with flour. But vanilla sugar can be mixed with regular sugar.
Chocolate sponge cake can be served with warm or cold tea, you can pour lipstick or frosting, sandwich with jam, meringue or any cream. Top can be decorated with whipped cream, berries, fruits, etc.
