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.
