Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F) in static mode. Prepare a 22 cm Bundt pan by greasing it thoroughly with a small amount of sunflower oil and dusting it with a light coating of flour, making sure to get into the center of the pan too. This will help the cake come out easily after baking.
-
Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high until it becomes light and fluffy. Gradually add the sunflower oil in a steady stream while continuing to beat the mixture. Next, pour in the milk and mix well.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, employing slow, upward motions to avoid deflating the batter. It’s essential to ensure that the mixture is smooth and well-combined but not overmixed.
-
Add chocolate chips: Once the batter is smooth, fold in the 150g of dark chocolate chips. This step adds a rich chocolate flavor to the cake and ensures a delicious chocolatey texture throughout.
-
Transfer to the Bundt pan: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, using a spatula to level the surface evenly. Make sure to tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles that may have formed during mixing.
-
Top with more chocolate: Sprinkle the remaining 30g of dark chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter. These will create a delightful melty chocolate topping once the cake is baked.
-
Bake the cake: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes. The exact baking time may vary, so it’s important to test the cake by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready. If not, return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, gently turn the cake out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust the top with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a finishing touch before slicing and serving.
