Chocolate Cake Baking Guide

You can make a smooth-textured chocolate cake in a home oven. Pay close attention to whipping and folding during the process.

Ingredients

4 eggs
eCooking Chocolate Cake Mix 200g
Milk 60ml
Corn Oil 50ml

Steps

1. Separate the egg yolk from the white. Ensure the bowl for the egg whites is completely dry and free of oil.
2. Add milk and corn oil to the egg yolks, stir until blended. Sift in the chocolate cake mix and fold until no dry flour remains.
3. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form when the whisk is lifted.
4. Fold in one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, then gently fold back into the remaining egg whites.
5. Pour into a 6-inch mold and tap twice to remove large air bubbles.
6. Preheat the oven. Bake at 150°C on both top and bottom heating elements for 45 minutes. Immediately invert the pan upon removal to cool, then unmold.

Tips

Fold gently with a spatula, lifting from the bottom; avoid circular stirring to prevent deflating the batter. Do not open the oven door frequently during baking.
