Instructions

Preheat the oven at 180C / 350F and line 3x18cm cake tins with parchment paper.

Now, mix both the flour and baking powder, then add them to the egg mixture and mix until incorporated. Now, the sponge cake is ready to bake.

Divide the batter equally between the three cake tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
Make The Topping: In a bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until it becomes thick and stiff and peaks form.
2 cups heavy whipped cream, 3 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Assemble the cake: Spread about ⅓ of the cream on the first layer of the cake using an icing spatula then add the second layer and repeat until the third layer.
Decorate the top with the chocolate chips and grated chocolate as you wish.

Notes

Beating the egg well until fluffy is the secret to a fluffy sponge cake.
I highly recommend using a good quality vanilla extract for a better taste.
