Chocolate Sponge Shells






Recipe

Ingredients
38g butter
15g cocoa powder
1/2tsp chocolate emulco

75g cake flour
1/4tsp baking powder
1/8tsp salt

125g egg
80g sugar
1tsp ovalette
75g milk

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 175C.
2. Melt butter, stir in cocoa powder and chocolate emulco together and set aside.
3. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together into a cake mixer bowl.
4. Add in egg, sugar, ovalette and milk.
5. Whisk until thick and glossy. (Do the ribbon test: Use the whisk to spoon some batter, drip some into the mixing bowl. If it stay visible for a while then this is the right stage.)
6. Fold in the cocoa paste.
7. Grease and lightly flour a shell tray.
8. Fill up the cavity of the tray with batter. (If batter is thick, the batter wouldn't overflow during baking. It will give a nice dome shape.)
9. Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25mins.
10.Remove and cool on a wire rack.
