Instructions

Bake the cake

Use a scale or measuring cups and spoons to make measurements.
Grease all of the edges of the pan with butter.
Coat all sides of the baking pan with flour.
Then, preheat the oven to 170°C for 15 minutes.
Using a sieve, filter the plain flour, caster sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda.
Add the eggs, whole milk, sunflower oil, and vanilla extract.
Whisk them together to combine.
While mixing, add hot water to dissolve the dry ingredients.
Pour the batter into the cake pan.
Bake the cake at 350° C for 35 to 40 minutes or until done.

Decorate the cake

Carefully remove the cake pan from the oven.
Then, use a small palette knife to level the cake, creating a flat cake surface.
Place the cake board on top of the cake and turn it over.
Spread your chocolate frosting evenly on top of the cake and along its side.
Then, use an icing scraper to smoothen the cake.
Use a piping bag to design the cake with more chocolate frosting.
Set it in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes.
Finally, you can relish this delicious Chocolate Cake!

Notes

To store, use airtight cake containers or plastic containers.
Wrap the cake in cling film or aluminum foil to preserve moisture.
Don’t overmix the cake batter for the best results.
Filtering the dry ingredients will help get rid of any clumps in the cake batter.
When pouring the batter into the cake pan, keep in mind that you need to consider the space needed for when the cake will start to rise.
To check if the cake is thoroughly cooked, use a cake tester or a toothpick and insert it in the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is baked well.
Adding the appropriate amount of sugar can already make the cake moist.
Too much baking powder can cause it to leaven quickly while too little can make the cake flat.
