Sponge Cake with Whipped Cream & Chocolate Vermicelli

Hello friendsss…. I made this cake for my Mother & Father - in- law’s anniversary and it came out really good…. It was very soft n spongy and chocolate vermicelli added a lot to the taste… I bought this vermicelli from b’lore and its available at many departmental stores but if you can’t find it, can substitute with chocolate flakes…
