Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour (2 cups)
  • Cocoa powder (3/4 cup)
  • Sugar (1 cup)
  • Eggs (3)
  • Butter (100 g)
  • Baking powder (18 g)
  • Baking soda (4 g)
  • Salt (1 pinch)
  • Condensed milk or cream (200 ml)
  • Vanilla extract (3 ml)

Method

  1. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. Add the sugar, butter, vanilla, and condensed milk or cream, then stir until the sugar dissolves. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture a little at a time, stirring until evenly combined. Cover the high-hydration batter and let it rest for 15 minutes for a better result.
  3. Grease the baking pan thoroughly with butter. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom, butter it, and place it in the pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C for 35–45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the cake to test it; the cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean. Remove it from the oven, cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
