Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

Heat the Milk Mixture

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

Mix the Dry Ingredients

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

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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

Bake the Cake

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.

Servings

When it's time to serve this delightful cake, consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. 🍦 You can also drizzle some chocolate sauce over the top for a beautiful presentation that is sure to wow your guests. Don't forget to sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top to enhance that nutty flavor and add a crunchy texture.✨ For a chic touch, serve slices on decorative plates with fresh berries on the side! 🍓 If you're planning a gathering, consider putting this cake on a vibrant dessert table surrounded by colorful fruits and soft lighting for a perfect setting!
