Method

1

Separate your eggs, whites from yolks. Whip the whites until you get stiff, glossy peaks.

2

Whip the yolks with 8 tablespoons of sugar until pale and fluffy.

3

Gently fold the whipped whites into the yolks until combined.

4

In a separate bowl, mix your flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together. Fold this mixture into the egg mixture in 2–3 additions, being gentle as you go.

5

Add the vegetable oil and fold to combine. Pour in the boiling water and gently fold everything together until smooth.

6

Pour the batter into a 9–9.5 inch cake pan. Bake at 320–340°F for about 45 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

7

Let the sponge cool completely in the pan at room temperature.
