Steps
Cake
Beat the eggs and sugar well until the mixture becomes pale and light.
Add the oil and the cup of milk to the egg mixture, then mix until combined.
Add the cocoa powder and baking powder, and mix them into the batter.
Add the flour gradually, mixing until a smooth, homogeneous batter forms.
Grease a baking pan with oil and dust it with flour. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180°C (350 °F) / 350°F (180 °C). Bake until the cake is cooked from underneath; the source does not specify a baking time.
At the end of baking, turn on the top heat briefly so the surface browns.
Remove the cake from the oven and pour 1 cup of coffee over it so the cake becomes moist.
Optional chocolate sauce
For the optional chocolate sauce, combine the 2 cups milk, cornstarch, cocoa powder, chocolate spread, and butter in a saucepan.
Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring, until it thickens.
Pour the warm chocolate sauce over the cake.
Notes
The source does not specify the pan size or exact baking time. It says to bake at 180°C until cooked underneath, then briefly brown the top. The chocolate sauce is explicitly optional. Cup sizes were not defined; quantities and nutrition use standard measuring cups.
