Hiya, how doesn’t the freezing work? Do you decorate straight from the freezer? And can the cake be made a couple weeks in advance and frozen or does it only work a day in advance? Thanks!

Hi Jane
To make this a chocolate sponge would I use 300g butter, sugar & 200g flour, 100g cocoa powder? Also would I swap the caster sugar for light brown sugar.?
Thank you

Hi, if I wanted to make this into a more caramel sponge, could I just swap out the sugar with soft brown sugar instead?

In reply to V. I know this is an old comment but strangely enough I have just done this the back to basics chocolate cake recipe is the same amount of ingredients as this but the chocolate is 2 Layers so I’ve just used the back to basics recipe but done in 6” tins and made 4 layers
