Does anyone have a recipe for a sponge or cake like chocolate mix that I can cook and use as a base for a desert? Going to layer choc mousse and strawberries on top so it needs to be light and preferably around an inch or so thick
Suggestions?

Been making the one from the Edmonds book for years. Called 'One egg chocolate sponge' - easy, always works, light and chocolatey. Don't think you'll be disappointed. Nice idea for a dessert too, think I'll copy it. lol. yum.
