minutesIngredients
- Batter (Massa)
3 eggs
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder (or chocolate milk powder)
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt
1 cup hot water
- Topping (Cobertura)
4 tbsp milk
½ cup cocoa powder (or chocolate milk powder)
1 tbsp butter
1 cup granulated sugar
Directions
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, oil, chocolate powder, and flour.
Note: If your blender isn’t very powerful, add the flour gradually while blending. If the batter becomes too thick, transfer it to a bowl and whisk in the remaining flour by hand. - Finish the Batter: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl. Add the hot water, salt, and baking powder, whisking thoroughly until smooth.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes. Unmold the cake while it is still warm.
- Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all the topping ingredients (milk, cocoa powder, butter, and sugar). Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously.
Finish: Pour the hot glaze directly over the warm cake immediately after taking it off the heat.
