In principle, the traditional sponge base is not used baking, but if you are unsure or do not have enough time to break the mixture well can add 1 baking powder (10 g) to the flour. Cocoa is added to the advance (!) sifted flour. Bake in greased pan or tray with baking paper preheated oven (200C) for 40 to 50 minutes without opening the oven (!). Another very important thing is to be perfectly dry and clean containers in which eggs are broken (!). Once baked and cool was cut into 3 equal parts, if not possible, 2.
