My Amazingly Soft & Moist Chocolate Sponge Cake

1. 1

   ["Preheat your oven to 180c & grease a 10"" round springform cake tin.", "Warm the margarine up in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, it needs to be extremely soft but not liquid.", "In a fairly large bowl, beat the sugar & the warmed margarine together. Unlike a regular sponge, you don't need to do this for more than a couple of minutes - creaming to get it fluffy is not required here!", "Next beat in the eggs, once they are fully incorporated add the baking powder & cocoa powder. Carefully mix them in then quickly beat the mix for a minute.", "Mix in the flour, being sure to get it well mixed & break up any lumps that may be lurking.", "Finally, mix in the water little by little.", "Pour the cake batter into the tin, level off & place in the centre of the oven to bake for 40 minutes.", "As soon as 40 minutes have passed, turn the oven off & leave the cake in there for 10-15 minutes before removing.", "Leave the cake in it's tin for 10 mins then pop out & leave to cool on the serving plate.", "Once the cake has cooled, give it a generous dusting of confectioners sugar."]
