A good cake for a party since the flavour improves if made a day ahead.

Vegetarian

Method

Whisk the eggs with the sugar with an electric beater until the whisk leaves a trail across the surface of the mixture. Gradually fold in the flour sifted with the cocoa, taking care not to lose too much air. Pour into the prepared cake tin.

Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is springy in the centre and it is starting to shrink from the tin. Spread the teacloth over a pastry boa
