Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/3 cup of cooking oil
- 1/3 cup of milk
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 1 and 2/3 cups of flour
For the Topping Sauce:
- A little less than 1 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
For the Pudding:
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 2/3 cup of flour
- 2 and 1/2 cups of milk
- Later: A little less than 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
Instructions:
- Start by whisking the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the remaining cake ingredients: oil, milk, flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 20-25 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick.
- After baking, poke the cake with a fork and spread the mixed milk and cocoa sauce over it. Allow it to soak in.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pudding by mixing all the pudding ingredients in a pot until smooth. Cook over low heat (setting 5) while stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once it thickens, remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the pudding has cooled, mix in the heavy whipping cream.
