🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
👩🍳 Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture becomes light in color and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add the vegetable oil and milk. Mix well until fully combined.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before decorating.
🎨 Decoration Suggestion
Spread a generous layer of Nutella on top, add fresh whipped cream, and decorate with strawberries and blueberries for a beautiful and delicious finish.
