Yogurt and cocoa sponge cake

Today I am going to teach you how to prepare a yogurt and cocoa sponge cake which I'm sure you'll love.

I have used natural yogurt to make this cake, but you can try different combinations replacing it for example with a strawberry or vanilla yogurt.

I have sprinkled the cake with icing sugar to make it more beautiful, in case you do the same thing, it is very important that you do it just before serving it, because if you do it a few hours before, the sponge cake will absorb the sugar and will have an unappetizing look.

I made this cake in using a round baking pan of 23 cm. (9 inches) diameter and I highly recommend to cover the pan with baking paper so that it does not get stuck and thus avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Here is a small tutorial if you don't know how to line a mold with baking paper.
