Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan (approximately 8 inches in diameter) or line it with parchment paper.
Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the three eggs and add a pinch of salt and the vanilla sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the eggs until they become frothy and pale in color.
Add Sugar and Milk: Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to whisk until it dissolves. Next, pour in the milk and vegetable oil, mixing until fully combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder. This ensures there are no lumps and gives the cake a lighter texture.
Mix the Batter: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Step 2: Bake the Cake
Pour the Batter: Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
