Ganache:
Heat the cream until hot, then pour over the chopped chocolate and stir until melted. Cool and refrigerate for a few hours.

Sponge Cake:
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
Mix flour, cocoa powder, gingerbread spice, and baking powder together. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar while mixing on high speed. Reduce speed and add egg yolks and oil one by one. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, spice, and baking powder. Gently fold until combined using a spoon. Spread the sponge cake batter evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes.
