Cooking time: 20 min
Servings: 1 pie 20 × 30 cm, about 12 people
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cup plain flour
- 3 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 cup water
For the chocolate coating (optional):
- 200 ml water
- 2 level tablespoons of cornstarch (20 g)
- 250 g of black chocolate (without milk), chopped
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 180 ° C and began to prepare the cake.
- We put in the baking tray (20 * 30 cm) dry ingredients: cocoa, sugar, flour, baking soda and salt, and mix until blended. With your finger, make 3 holes in the mix: in one of the holes pour the oil in another vanilla, and vinegar in the last
- On the set pour the cup of water, and stir gently with a spoon until blended ingredients.
- Bake 20-25 minutes (if you use a smaller pan will have to increase the time to 30-35 minutes)
- Remove from oven and let cake cool
- Meanwhile, prepare the cover
- Mix water and cornstarch, stirring until no lumps
- We heat this mixture in a saucepan, over medium low heat. Add the chopped chocolate, and stir constantly until completely melted
- Remove from heat, stir a little to temper, and pour over the cake we had previously prepared (which should already be cold!) Leave in the fridge until the chocolate coating (several hours or overnight) to solidify
- We keep the cake in the refrigerator until consumption, covered with plastic wrap so it does not take odors (preferably taking it 15-30 minutes before eating, but not required). At serving time, garnish using a template (if you have no template, you can print the image you like in a cardboard or foil, and cut).
- To decorate, simply place the template on the cake and sprinkle with powdered sugar strainer until all the gaps. We removed the template and serve!
