Add the egg whites to the egg yolks mixture in portions. Use spatula to avoid and gently mix in one direction. Add flour and cocoa little by little and stir well to homogeneity. Take a baking dish and cover it with baking paper. Pour the dough mixture into one layer 1 cm thick. Bake at 200 C in a pre-heated oven for about 10-15 minutes. Roll the ready sponge, while it is still warm and in baking paper, with a wet towel and put it aside to rest.
