Ingredients

2 eggs

⅓ cup sugar (about 65 g)

⅔ cup milk (about 160 ml)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil (about 45 ml)

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (about 180 g)

A pinch of salt

2 teaspoons baking powder (about 8 g)

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (about 40 g)

¾ cup milk (about 180 ml) for sauce

1 tablespoon flour (about 8 g) for sauce

1 teaspoon sugar (about 5 g) for sauce

½ cup chopped milk chocolate (about 90 g) for sauce

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (about 7 g) for sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round or square pan, or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add milk and vegetable oil; mix well.
  3. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold into wet ingredients without overmixing.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs.
  5. Let cake rest 5-10 minutes before removing from pan.
  6. For the sauce, combine milk, flour, and sugar in a saucepan. Cook gently, whisking until slightly thickened (do not boil).
  7. Remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate and cocoa powder until smooth and glossy.
  8. Slice warm cake, spoon generous amounts of warm chocolate sauce over slices, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.

Substitute eggs, milk, and oil with plant-based alternatives for a vegan option.

Add chocolate chips, nuts, or fresh fruit to the batter for extra texture.

Store cake and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Reheat cake gently and warm sauce before serving for best results.
