Chocolate Sponge Cake (Sokolatopita)

In a large sauce pan melt butter, sugar, cocoa, water.

In a large bowl add the flour, baking power, salt and eggs. Beat nicely and set aside.

Before pouring syrup into the batter, set aside 1 small cup of syrup. Pour syrup very slowly and mix.

Stir cake batter and add in the Vanilla extract.

Pour in Cognac. Pour batter into a buttered baking pan, and bake for 25 minutes at 180 degrees.

This cake will not rise like the normal sponge cake, this is a bit flatter, buttt two pieces one on top of the other will absolutely do the trick, as you can see in the picture. The cup of syrup that was set aside you can use to pour onto each piece as an added addition, I added sprinkles on this piece Hope you enjoy this recipe!!! Kali Orexi!!!
