Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 2 packets baking powder
- 2 packets vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
For the sauce:
- 4 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1.5-2 packets of chocolate (about 80-100 grams)
Directions:
- Begin by vigorously whisking the eggs and sugar until well blended and fluffy.
- Gradually incorporate the oil, milk, baking powder, vanilla, cocoa, and flour into the egg mixture until it forms a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Thoroughly grease your baking dish before pouring the batter into it.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 150°C (302°F) for 30-35 minutes.
- Once baked, cover the cake with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. After resting, slice the cake.
- For the sauce, combine milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and oil in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, except for the chocolate. Once the sauce is heated, remove about one-third of it to a separate bowl and mix with the chocolate.
- Pour the non-chocolate part of the sauce over the sliced cake, allowing it to absorb fully. Set aside the excess sauce for serving.
- After the cake has fully cooled, drizzle the chocolate mixture over the entire cake.
Enjoy this lush, moist chocolate cake as a special treat that's sure to delight anyone who tries it!
