INGREDIENTS
-3 cups of flour
-2 teaspoons of baking soda
-1 teaspoon of salt
-1 cup of cocoa
-1 ½ cup of fresh milk at room temperature
-2 tablespoons of vinegar
-3 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-2 ½ cups of sugar
-Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
-Chantilly (optional to decorate)
-Fruits of the forest (optional to decorate)
PREPARATION
1. The first thing we will do is to have all the ingredients ready and ready to use them. Now, we will start by buttering the tube mold and put shortened butter paper on the bottom so that the cake does not stick. Instead of flouring it, we will add cocoa powder to the mold to make it easy to unmold.
2. Now we will proceed to cut the milk by pouring the 2 tablespoons of vinegar into the fresh milk at room temperature and reserve.
3. We put in a colander the flour that has been previously sifted, the cocoa, the baking soda and the salt and sift. This is the second sift that the flour will have and it is one of the secrets to make the cake more fluffy.
4. Then, in the bowl of the mixer we place the cut milk, eggs, oil and vanilla and beat all the ingredients until they are well integrated. We can do it using a manual or electric mixer.
5. While we beat the wet mixture, we lower the speed of the mixer and gradually incorporate the dry ingredients that we sifted before. Once we have poured all the flour and cocoa mixture we return the mixer to normal speed.
6. When all the ingredients are well incorporated, add the sugar to the mixture. This makes the dough more liquid and helps everything to be incorporated better.
7. We preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F. When we see that the mixture is well integrated, we pour it into the mold that we prepared earlier.
8. We bring the mold with the dough to the oven for 1 hour. Only when this time passes do we open the oven and try inserting a wooden or metal stick in the middle of the dough to know if it is fully cooked. If the stick comes out damp, we leave the mold in the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes and do the stick test again until it comes out clean.
9. Once the cake is cold we can unmold it, if we do it while it is hot it can break. We can decorate with powdered sugar, chantilly and berries.
