Instructions
-
Prepare the Cake Batter:
Begin by cracking the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Using a hand whisk, lightly beat the eggs, gradually adding the sugar. Continue to whisk for about two minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Once this is done, slowly pour in the semi-skimmed milk, stirring gently to combine. -
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. This ensures the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed and free of lumps. Using a spoon, gently stir the dry ingredients to ensure they are evenly distributed. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, a little at a time. As you add the dry mixture, use the whisk to gently incorporate everything, being careful not to overmix. The result should be a smooth, lump-free batter. -
Prepare the Baking Pan:
Grease and flour a round bundt cake pan, measuring approximately 24 cm in diameter at the top, with a base of 20 cm and an approximate height of 10 cm. Pour the prepared batter into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer. -
Bake the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the cake pan in the center of the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes. To check if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your cake is fully baked. -
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before gently removing it. Place the cake on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness. -

Slice the cake into 8 portions and serve as a delightful dessert or snack. Enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness with a cup of coffee or tea for the perfect treat.
