PREPARATION METHOD
First preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a cake tin with butter and flour.
Then, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Then, in another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla essence.
Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until you have a homogeneous dough.
Add the hot water to the dough and stir well.
Then pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
That way, while the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate syrup. In a saucepan, combine the chocolate powder, sugar, water and butter. Bring to the boil over medium heat and stir constantly until the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the cake from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes. Unmold and place on a serving plate.
Finally, drizzle the cake with the still-warm chocolate syrup, making sure to cover the entire surface.
Serve the cocoa cake with chocolate syrup accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
- If you prefer a lighter cake, replace half the amount of wheat flour with almond flour.
- Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings or sprinkle icing sugar on top for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
- Make sure the hot water is added last, to help activate the cocoa powder and achieve a smoother texture.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
