Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe

For the dark chocolate cake:
• 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons (42 g) unsweetened cocoa

• 10 tablespoons of butter (142 g)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C)

Prepare the rich chocolate cake:
• Place the cocoa in a bowl and add the boiling water. Whisk until smooth and cool to room temperature.
• In another bowl mix the eggs with 1/4 of the cooled off cocoa mixture together with the vanilla.
• In your mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
