An Italian chocolate sponge cake has only four ingredients: eggs, sugar, flour and cocoa powder. Vanilla can be added to enhance the chocolate flavour. The beauty of this cake is that it has no fat, no dairy, and no leavening agents. Stiffly beaten egg whites make this cake airy, soft, and spongy.

Birthday Lemon Cake with Chocolate Ganache by Ksenia

Vegan baking can be a little bit tricky. Sometimes the batter won’t rise, and the result will be more fragile and delicate than with eggs and dairy.
