✅ Chocolate sponge cake:
100 g boiling water.
40 g cocoa powder.
1 tsp instant coffee (optional to enhance the chocolate flavor).
Dissolve cocoa powder and coffee in boiling water and stir until smooth.
100 g milk.
Set the mixture aside for now.
120 g butter (room temperature).
Stir the butter until light (about 3 minutes).
A pinch of salt.
170 g sugar.
Stir until smooth.
2 eggs (room temperature).
Add the eggs one at a time and beat for 30–60 seconds each.
Add cocoa mixture and stir.
220 g flour.
5 g baking powder.
Mix carefully.
Pour the dough into a baking pan (20 cm diameter) lined with baking paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45–55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely.
Cut off the top layer.
Crumble into crumbs for decoration.
Halve horizontally.

✅Layer:
100–150 g cranberry jam (or another sweet and sour variety).
Spread with a thin layer of cranberry jam.
Place the cake in the refrigerator while we prepare the chocolate cream.

✅Chocolate cream:
100 g dark chocolate (~54%).
Melt the chocolate in a water bath or in the microwave.
250 g sour cream (30%) or creamy natural yogurt.
40 g powdered sugar.
20 g cocoa powder.
Stir until smooth.
Add melted chocolate.
Mix well.
Spread most of the cream over the jam.
Grease the edges of the cake.
Sprinkle the surface with cocoa powder.
Sprinkle the edges of the cake with crumbs from the cut sponge cake.
This is how our chocolate cake turned out—soft, fragrant, and with an interesting cranberry and raisin flavor. Try it at home, and you'll see that simple ingredients can create a true dessert masterpiece.
