Instructions
Step 1
Start by whisking the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial; it helps to incorporate air, making your cake light and airy.
Step 2
In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, both types of oil, and 1 teaspoon of cocoa. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil. Stir continuously to avoid scalding.
Step 3
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk, gently combine these dry ingredients to ensure they are well mixed.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the whipped egg mixture, alternating with the hot milk mixture. Be sure to stir well after each addition to ensure everything is thoroughly combined and smooth.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the cake batter into a 20 cm (8 inch) round cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients smoothly. Look for one that is not too big, as it will be easier to mix your batter.

Faq
- What if my cake is too dense?
If your cake turns out dense, try mixing the wet and dry ingredients more gently to keep that fluffiness. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature and whip them well!
- How do I know when my cake is done?
A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when the cake is fully baked. Start checking at around 35 minutes.
- Can I use a different type of sweetener?
Yes! You can experiment with other sugars or sweeteners, but keep in mind that it may affect the texture and moisture of the cake.
- How do I store leftover cake?
Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
- How can I make the cake more chocolatey?
You can add more cocoa powder to the batter or use chocolate chips in the mix to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Is it ok to freeze the cake?
Absolutely! You can freeze the cake for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn!
