Variations
Whatever you like, add any flavourings you like to the base sponge and the topping, orange, coffee, or make them without the cocoa powder (increase the flour so the ratio is the same) and add vanilla, lemon, sultanas, nuts. The possibilties are endless. Try the base sponge with some chocolate chips and then top with grated chocolate.
