Ingredients
Sponge
- 6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup milk 1dl
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil 1dl
- 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Topping
- 4 tablespoons your favorite jam
Decoration
- 24 marshmallows
- decorating icing black
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).
- Spray the baking pan with cooking spray.
- Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set them aside.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.
- Add milk and oil to the egg yolk mixture. Mix it well.
- Add flour and baking powder, and mix until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Using a wooden spoon, gently fold in 3 tablespoons of the beaten egg whites to lighten the batter. Then, slowly fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the sponge is done.
- Immediately after removing the sponge from the oven, spread your favorite jam over the top, then return the sponge to the oven for 5 minutes.
- After removing the sponge from the oven, quickly place 12 marshmallows on top and return it to the oven for no longer than 5 minutes. Remove it when the marshmallows start to melt and turn a pale golden brown.
- Place one additional marshmallow on top of each melted marshmallow.
- Let the sponge cool down completely.
- Once cooled, use the black decorating icing to draw faces on the marshmallows.
