Preparation of the chocolate cake

  1. We begin beating the sugar with the butter until we get a whitish cream that will have increased in volume.
  2. For this step it is advisable to use a stick mixer or a food processor. If we choose to do it by hand we must arm ourselves with strength and patience.
  3. We add the eggs one by one, integrating each into the mixture before adding the next. We reserve.
  4. In a bowl add the dry ingredients, flour, cornstarch, cocoa and yeast. With a fork we mix well.
  5. We introduce the butter eggs that we have reserved in the mixture of dry ingredients.
  6. We do it by sifting them and beat again until integrated. It is not necessary to beat the mixture very much, integrating it homogeneously is sufficient.
  7. We add the chocolate that previously we will have cut into small cubes. We mix so that it is distributed throughout the mass.
  8. Pour the mixture into a previously greased bowl. Settle the cream by lightly tapping the mold.
  9. We preheat the oven to 180º C before putting the chocolate cake in it. 10 minutes before is enough for the oven to reach this temperature.

Baking and final presentation of the chocolate cake

  1. With the oven previously hot, we bake for 50 minutes at 180º C. Always on the tray in the middle of the oven, better on the oven rack. And with temperature above and below, without air.
  2. Remember that each oven is a world and that times may vary. If you need to, leave a little more time. We check that it is well cooked by pricking it with a stick and checking that it comes out clean. It is an effective way to make sure it is perfect.
  3. We remove the mold from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes on a rack before unmolding it.
  4. Let it sit on the rack until it is completely cold.
  5. We unmold the cake passing a knife over the edge and carefully peel off the walls.

Serve when it has cooled, and accompany it with a few pieces of chocolate … yes, more chocolate. You will see how fluffy and delicious, totally yummy.
