Cocoa cake

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 4 eggs
• 150 g sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 150 ml milk
• 150 ml oil
• 200 g flour
• 100 g cocoa powder, sweetened
• 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

only with cocoa powder

In a bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar, and sugar until light and creamy. This may take up to 5 minutes, depending on the power of your appliance. Gradually add the oil and continue beating vigorously. Carefully add the milk and flour-cocoa mixture and continue beating briefly. (I always fold everything in with a spoon to keep the mixture nice and light.) Fill a well-greased dish with the batter and place it on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 180°C (top/bottom heat) or 165°C (fan oven). (Since every oven heats differently, it is very important to do the first skewer test after 35 minutes. If there is still batter sticking to the cake, it needs to bake longer. The cake is only ready when there is no more batter sticking to the skewer and can be taken out of the oven.) After the baking time is over, let the cake rest for 15 minutes in the slightly open oven, only then take it out and either let it cool completely in the tin or turn it out. If you like, you can glaze the cake. Even though it is only cocoa powder, the cake tastes very chocolatey. If you like, you can also use unsweetened cocoa powder, but I would then increase the sugar content!
