Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons of raw cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoons of powdered milk
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chocolate sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine cocoa powder, milk powder, water, sugar and vegetable oil. Stir continuously over medium heat until everything is well mixed and smooth. Once ready, remove from heat and set aside. Take a cup of chocolate sauce and place it in the refrigerator to use as a topping for the cake later.
2. Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add the chocolate sauce (except the reserved cup) and mix well.
3. Add the dry ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gently fold them into the wet mixture until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could alter the texture of the cake.
4. Prepare the baking dish: Butter a cake pan, making sure all sides are well coated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake the cake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Add the chocolate sauce: Once the cake is cooked and cooled slightly, remove it from the pan and pour the reserved chocolate sauce over the top, allowing it to soak into the cake and create a rich, moist finish.
