Introduction
This chocolate cake is exceptionally soft, rich, and moist, soaked in a warm cocoa milk syrup that keeps every bite tender. Made with oil instead of butter, it stays soft even after refrigeration and is finished with a luscious, glossy chocolate topping.
Step 1
In a bowl, combine hot milk, vegetable oil, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until the cocoa is completely dissolved, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together room temperature eggs and brown (or white) sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the cooled cocoa mixture into the egg mixture and whisk thoroughly until incorporated.
Step 4
Place a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl, add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Sift the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth; do not overmix.
Step 5
Grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) or 10x10-inch (25x25 cm) baking dish with butter, pour in the batter, and spread it evenly.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using oil instead of butter keeps the cake tender and soft, even when stored in the refrigerator.
Poke plenty of holes evenly across the warm cake so the syrup penetrates deep into the crumb.
When cooking the chocolate topping, stir constantly and scrape the pan's bottom and edges to prevent scorching.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and rewarmed in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to restore that freshly baked warmth.
