Milk Chocolate Cake

To prepare the milk chocolate cake, first finely chop the chocolate 1. Transfer it to a double boiler 2 and melt it 3. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave, heating it for a few seconds at a time and stirring often.

Transfer the softened butter to a bowl 4, add the sugar 5 and a pinch of salt 6.

Blend with an electric mixer until you get a lightly whipped mixture 7. Add the eggs one at a time 8, waiting for the first one to be well absorbed before adding the next. Beat until well incorporated 9.

Now pour in the cooled melted chocolate 10 and incorporate it with the electric mixer on low speed 11. Also add the all-purpose flour 12.

Also add the baking powder, preferably sifting it 13, and mix again, still on low speed 14. Mix just long enough to obtain a homogeneous batter 15.

Pour the batter into a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper 16; alternatively, you can butter and flour it. Level the surface with the back of a spoon 17 and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 40 minutes. Always do the toothpick test before taking the cake out of the oven 18.

Let the cake cool before taking it out of the mold 19, transfer it to a serving plate, sprinkle it with unsweetened cocoa powder 20 and powdered sugar, and serve 21.
