What to 'finish' a sponge cake?

I finally, finally have figured out the right technique and ingredients for an orange spongecake I have been fiddling with for this past year. I love it! But when I went to put something on it... it wasn't what it was or could've been :( The chocolate glaze I put on it did nothing to enhance it, but instead, detracted. Hm.

Are sponge cakes normally finished with a sprinkling of powdered sugar? Or something else? Do you know of a good recipe that would make it even better? Should I leave it well enough alone? I'm so confused!!! I'm not really a baker, or creator of recipes, so my vision is a bit limited here. Had a sudden thought--what about a sprinkling of cocoa mixed with powdered sugar?

Thanks for any ideas you might have.
