recipe reviews for:

Cinnamon and Chocolate Spread Sponge

“This may sound unusual, but is in fact a pleasantly moist and very delicious cake. The marbled centre of chocolate spread adds a sinful surprise to your eating experience, and contrasts beautifully with the light, spongy consistency of the cake. This is a recipe of my own, but it was inspired Good Food magazine's 'Cinnamon Nutella Cake'.”

I think there's something missing from this recipe. I looked at it and thought, "Hm, this would make a nice scone." And it did - dense and crumbly, but definitely not a sponge. Sponge cakes generally contain eggs; perhaps the recipe's author left them out accidentally?

Either I don't know what a "sponge" is or there is something missing from this recipe. The mixture was very think and not pourable at all. I baked it the required time and the result was dissapointing. It was overcooked like a big cookie. It actually tasted it okay as a cookie bar but not at all what I expected.
