Instructions
-
In a blender, add eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
-
Blend very well on the highest speed until the mixture becomes light, creamy, and voluminous.
-
Add melted butter and milk. Blend just until combined, then stop blending immediately to avoid overmixing.
-
Pour the mixture from the blender into a large, wide bowl.
-
Sift flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking powder directly over the wet mixture. Sift them all at once.
-
Using a hand whisk (or spatula), gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring from the bottom up with a light hand, until all the flour and cocoa are well incorporated and no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
-
Grease your chosen cake pan (long loaf pan 30x11cm or round pan 25-26cm) with ghee or butter, then dust it with a light coating of cocoa powder (instead of flour, to maintain the chocolate color).
-
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
-
Preheat your oven to 170°C. Bake the cake on the middle rack for exactly 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for approximately five minutes.
-
Then, invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In separate bowls, melt milk chocolate with oil, and white chocolate with oil.
-
Drizzle the melted chocolates over the cooled cake as desired. You can use a wooden skewer to create patterns.
-
This cake is delicious served plain, or with the added chocolate decoration.
