Instructions
-
In a wide bowl, add eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
-
Whisk with a hand whisk (no electric mixer needed) until the color becomes light and frothy.
-
Add milk and oil to the mixture and whisk to combine.
-
Over the wet mixture, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk gently until just combined.
-
Finally, add boiling hot water to the batter and whisk until everything is well incorporated. The batter will be thin.
-
Divide the cake batter into small individual molds, or pour it into a large baking tray (size 30 cm).
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C.
-
Bake the cake on the middle rack for approximately 20 minutes for small molds or 30 minutes for a large tray, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
In a bowl, combine espresso (or hot water + instant coffee), and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
-
Immediately after the cake comes out of the oven, make small holes in it using a skewer or fork.
-
While the cake is still warm, pour the hot soaking liquid evenly over it. Set aside.
-
In a saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate (chopped if large) and qeshta (thick cream). Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
-
While the cake is still slightly warm, pour the prepared chocolate sauce generously over the individual cake molds or the large cake tray.
-
Garnish with sprinkles or nuts if desired. Serve when the cake has cooled slightly, allowing the sauce to set a bit.
