Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 100g whipped chocolate cream (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or a 9×9-inch square pan. You can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder to ensure there are no clumps of cocoa powder.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense. The batter should be smooth.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and letting it cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Top and decorate: Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped chocolate cream on top. You can also add extra decorations like chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or powdered sugar for a finishing touch.

Notes

  • Cocoa Powder: For the best flavor, use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Milk: Any type of milk works, but dairy milk will give the cake a richer flavor, while non-dairy options like almond or oat milk will create a lighter cake.
  • Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter to ensure the cake remains tender. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Baking time: Use a toothpick to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • Cooling: Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Whipped Chocolate Cream: You can either buy pre-made whipped chocolate cream or make your own by whipping heavy cream with cocoa powder and sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Variations: Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.
