The Chocolate Sponge

Chocolate –Luxurious rich, moist, indulgent Sponge, generously filled with wonderful chocolate butter cream. A chocoholics dream!!

Our Chocolate Sponge Cake is made with only the very best ingredients and is over 3 inches high with a sumptuously thick layer of chocolate butter icing, using Columbian chocolate sourced from WCF (World Cocoa Foundation) member, Luker, who are committed to the sustainable development of cocoa growing communities, to sandwich the chocolate sponge cake together. Chocolate Sponge Cake is available as a wedge, a 7 inch cake or a 10 inch cake. For delivery details in the UK please see Cake Delivery or contact us for delivery elsewhere.

What makes The Chocolate Sponge

Icing Sugar Dusting. Upper chocolate sponge layer: protects the icing from the wandering fingers of filling thieves. Chocolate butter icing: Responsible for the shiver down the spine when the first mouthful is taken. Lower chocolate sponge layer: Light enough to float, yet moist and flavoursome (and keeps the icing off the table).

Thank you for offering a really good service and a really tasty cake. I will continue to use you on a regular basis.

R from London

Had this cake delivered to a friend last week and they were full of nothing but praise for this. Everyone in the office was asking where it was from and wanted more! Sponge customised the cake exactly to my requirements and were very friendly throughout the whole process. Will definitely be ordering more :)

Caszie from Norwich

sent to our office this morning and was by far the best chocolate cake ever. Thank you so much

Niamh Wright from Kegworth

This is the nicest cake that I have ever tasted! As a 'wanna-be' cake connoisseur myself, i have got to say that the sponge, icing and topping was to die for!

Briony from South Cheriton

i sell chocolate

Tudur Eames from Market Harborough

I have always been passionate about these cakes ever since I first discovered Byfords in Holt many years ago!! I had a chocolate sponge recently to celebrate moving house (as you do) and I was deliciously surprised to discover that it had a topping - vanilla butter cream (i think) and real chocolate shavings! This was an excellent new development. Keep them coming sponge.co.uk!!!

Lynne from Alford

I ordered one of the 10 inch chocolate sponges for my son's 21st celebrations. Not tried one before but was delighted with the taste and quality of the sponge. It arrived on the day I asked for, well packaged with napkins and special sponge plates that I hadn't expected. Well done SPONGE! Will be ordering for our next celebrations.

Tina from Tiverton

I was a little wary as this was my first purchase and for my husband's birthday. We were not disappointed, it was well packaged and tasted absolutely delicious, a fantastic moist sponge - the depth of the sponge was seriously huge and the chocolatey filling wasn't at all sickly. We shall definitely be trying the other flavours - even if it's not anyone's birthday!! Thank you Sponge!

Tina Roe from St Albans

I recently sent one of your extra large chocolate sponge cakes to my Mum at her care home and the lovely staff organised a tea party for her. The cake was shared between the residents and they all loved it. I think it cheered up everybody's day! Thank you.

Christine from West Caister

Cake was really superb and went down a treat with colleagues at work. Loved the napkins that came with it - what a civilised idea.

Sam Cook from Manchester

Just had the baby chocolate one which had the plain vanilla buttercream filling. Deeeelicious! So moist! The plain filling worked really well with the chocolate sponge, not too much chocolate! Defo eat again.

Eleanor Armes from Sheringham, Norfolk

I received one as a birthday present and it was amazing! Everyone who ate a slice commented on how delicious it was! I will definately be using Sponge myself in the future!

Becca And Bully from fakenham

we buy one of these chocolate sponges nearly every saturday after the kids swimming lesson (there quite happy to work extra hard when they know where we will stop on the way home!), we've tried the other flavours but always return to the choccy one its truely amazing!!......... also its a brilliant excuse to have to go to byfords and purchase the chocolate fridge cake and millionares shortbread ..its to hard to pick just one so we all share a bit of everything!!

Lesley Foottit from London

The cake was scrumptious. Really succulent and light. Sometimes chocolate cakes can be dry but this was lovely. It reminded me of a Christmas yule log. Will be using Sponge again.
