Chocolate Cake with Coffee and Creamy Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 eggs (whole)
• 1 cup sugar (240 ml cup)
• 0.5 cup chocolate powder 50% cocoa (240 ml cup)
• 180 ml oil (vegetable oil)
• 200 ml hot coffee (unsweetened (can be sweetened if preferred))
• 1.5 cup all-purpose flour (240 ml cup)
• salt (a pinch)
• baking soda (a tiny bit to darken the cake)
• 1 tbsp baking powder (tablespoon)
• 1 can condensed milk (395g)
• 4 tbsp 100% cocoa powder (tablespoons)
• 2 box heavy cream (200g boxes each)
• 200 ml whole milk (a bit more if necessary to adjust the consistency)
• chocolate chips (to taste)
• 1 tbsp butter (tablespoon)

Steps

1. 1

   In a blender or bowl, add the 4 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup 50% cocoa chocolate powder, 180 ml oil, and 200 ml hot coffee.

2. 2

   Blend all liquid ingredients well for about 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.

3. 3

   Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and a little baking soda.

4. 4

   Lastly, add 1 tbsp baking powder and blend quickly just to combine.

5. 5

   Grease a pan with non-stick spray or butter and flour.

6. 6

   Transfer the batter to the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 35 minutes.

7. 7

   While the cake bakes, prepare the sauce: in a saucepan, mix the condensed milk with the 4 tbsp of 100% cocoa powder until well dissolved.

8. 8

   Add the 2 boxes of heavy cream, 200 ml whole milk, chocolate chips to taste, and 1 tbsp butter.

9. 9

   Place over heat and stir until it begins to boil. Turn off immediately to maintain a fluid consistency.

10. 10

    If the sauce thickens too much as it cools, add a little more milk to reach a liquid sauce consistency.

11. 11

    Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares and loosen them slightly in the pan or transfer to a serving dish.

12. 12

    Pour the still-warm sauce over the cake pieces so it penetrates well.

Notes

The coffee serves to enhance the chocolate flavor and does not leave the cake with a strong coffee taste. The sauce should remain fluid, similar to a thick hot chocolate.
