1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 cup chocolate (chopped)
3/4 cup all-purpose cream (or whipping cream)
3 tbsp. butter (unsalted)
- FOR SIMPLE SYRUP
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. hot water
Directions
- COOKING THE CAKE
- In a bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes or until the milk starts to curdle. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift to remove lumps. Add sugar. Mix well.
- Then, add the oil, milk (milk with vinegar we prepared in step 1), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer to a baking pan lined with baking paper or parchment paper. Tap against the table to remove bubbles.
- Pre-heat the pan with lid for 5 minutes in A VERY LOW HEAT. After 5 minutes, put a heat-proof wire rack then put the baking pan with cake mixture. Cover and “bake” for 40 to 50 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
- After baking, scrape the sides of the baking pan with knife. Overturn in a cooling rack to cool the cake. Let it cook completely.
- MAKING SIMPLE SYRUP (OPTIONAL)
- In a bowl, put sugar. Pour hot water and dissolve the sugar completely. Let it cool and set aside until ready to use.
- MAKING CHOCOLATE GANACHE
- Combine the all-purpose cream and chopped chocolates. Melt using double-boiler or microwave.
- WITH MICROWAVE: put it inside and microwave for 30 seconds in medium. Stir until it melts. Microwave again for 20 seconds until completely melted. Add the butter to melt.
- WITH DOUBLE BOILER: Put a heat-proof bowl on the top of a pot with boiling water. Use the heat coming from the bottom to melt the chocolate and cream. Stir to melt completely. Then add the butter. Stir until melted and glossy.
- CAKE ASSEMBLY
- Put some simple syrup to the chocolate cake to keep it moist.
- Then, pour half of the chocolate ganache while it still pourable. Cover the entire cake. Then chill the cake for 30 minutes to set the chocolate ganache.
- To make the chocolate ganache pipeable, put it in a bowl, then cover with plastic. Make sure that the plastic is touching the chocolate. Then, chill for 20 minutes. After chilling, whisk in high speed for 1 minute. It should be more stable and pipeable.
- Frost and decorate the cake however you want.
