I know it's late and my maths might not be up to much but I count 20g for the filling and 20g for the icing, is that not 40g in total?

The ingredients state 30g and as 40 is not even an option I guess I'll be going with 30g.

:huh:

Thanks for the post.

I must be having a really blonde moment because I make it 70g :eek:

It's 30g for the sponge, 20g for the filling and 20g for the icing.

Unless they mean just the sponge cake and not the rest :undecided

They ask for the cocoa in the cake recipe, so I'm going with 30g

I got a reply from goodtoknow:-

Hi

Thanks for your email. The question means how much cocoa powder for the sponge cake - excluding the filling and the icing.

So it looks like the answer is 30g then (I didn't think it was that clear, but that may just be me!!!:))
