How to make Chocolate Sponge Bars
Tips from the cook
- Whip the whites with the sugar and fold them in gently, so the sponge stays light.
- The sponge is thin, so check it at about 12 minutes and do not let it dry out.
- Let the sponge cool fully before adding the whipped cream.
- Let the melted chocolate cool a little before dipping, so it clings in a thin even coat.
