This recipe was created after I miscalculated a recipe for brownies. The brownies were horrible but the result was a perfect chocolaty sponge cake. I make it ever since and it's perfect for a layer cake, frosting or on it's own.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
