Ingredients

All-purpose flour three-quarters cup or 90g

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

100g cooking chocolate

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 tablespoon coffee

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup margarine or butter

1/2 cup cooking oil

---

Instructions - Step by Step

Sift the flour. Bring the eggs to room temperature 15-20 minutes in advance, then separate the whites from the yolks. Chop the cooking chocolate into small pieces.

Preheat the oven to 180°C fifteen to twenty minutes in advance and grease a round cake pan or separate small pans.

In a glass bowl, combine a quarter cup of water, the chocolate pieces, cocoa powder, coffee, and margarine or butter, and mix over simmering water.

When everything is combined, remove from the heat and stir in the cooking oil and vanilla essence.

Separately beat the egg whites and yolks, then combine them and add the sugar, beating with an electric mixer until they form a creamy consistency.

Add the chocolate paste to this mixture and mix both thoroughly. Then, beat in the flour a little at a time.

Pour this mixture into the prepared cake pan and place it in the oven. This cake will need at least one hour to bake.

Check with a toothpick or a matchstick and remove from the oven.

Once completely cool, remove from the pan and, if desired, decorate the top with a little melted cooking chocolate.
