Classic Fluffy Chocolate Cake

3️⃣ Baking

• Bake at 170°C for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Once baked, let the cake rest in the pan for 5 minutes to settle before unmolding onto a wire rack.

4️⃣ Syrup the Cake

While the cake is still warm, slowly pour the cooled syrup evenly over the top. Allow it to absorb naturally; adding it gradually ensures the cake stays moist without collapsing or becoming overly saturated.

5️⃣ Serving

• Dust the top with powdered sugar, grated chocolate, or add a layer of chocolate ganache.
• Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
• Pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee.

Tips

• Whipping the eggs and sugar thoroughly is the key to creating height and fluffiness.
• Sifting the dry ingredients helps maintain a delicate, airy texture.
• Add syrup little by little to achieve the perfect moistness.
• For deeper chocolate flavor, increase the cocoa powder to 50 g instead of 40 g.
