Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 175 gm All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Cuban Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 150 gm Caster Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Large Eggs room temperature
- 150 ml Milk
- 150 ml Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 400 gm Sweetened Milk 1 tin, condensed
Chocolate Frosting
- 125 gm Chocolate dark
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Grease and flour two round cake tins or line them with parchment paper. This ensures the cakes release easily after baking.
- In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and caster sugar. Sifting aerates the dry ingredients, resulting in a lighter cake.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, milk, eggs (one at a time), vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of the sweetened condensed milk. Adding the eggs one at a time ensures they are fully incorporated into the batter.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or your hands in a folding motion until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough cake.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the tins for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Stir occasionally until smooth.
- Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the remaining sweetened condensed milk. Beat until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread with one-third of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer and frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Do not spread the frosting on warm cakes. Ensure they cool down completely first.
- Maintain precise measurements for the best results.
- For added moisture and a deeper chocolate flavor, brush each cake layer with a simple syrup infused with coffee or dark rum before frosting.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with full-fat coconut milk and use a neutral-tasting plant-based oil instead of olive oil.
- Create a glossy finish by pouring a warm ganache (equal parts dark chocolate and cream) over the cooled cake.
- Elevate the presentation with edible gold leaf, fresh berries, or tempered dark chocolate shards.
Expert Tips
- Use a high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- For clean cake slices, use a warm knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between each cut.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover frosted cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
