Instructions

1. Melt the butter and mix it with the cocoa powder and the water or milk. (Until everything has blended well)
2. Mix the flour with starch and baking powder separately in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Beat the eggs with the sugar and salt as well as the flavor (can also be omitted) for at least 5 minutes until white and creamy.
4. Slowly and gradually add the butter and chocolate mixture and continue beating.
5. Finally stir in the flour mixture briefly, please only until everything is well mixed.
6. Now put the dough in a greased form (all forms are actually suitable for this) and bake in the preheated oven at 180 ° C top / bottom heat or 165 ° C fan oven for 45-50 minutes.
7. (Please do a chopstick test as every oven heats differently.)
8. PS:
9. I like to make the cake with chocolate chips and use chocolate pudding powder instead of starch.
10. I am also happy to take 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoon sweetened cocoa powder.
11. It tastes very chocolaty and sweet, although the sugar content can also be reduced.
12. If stored correctly, it tastes better every day (it stays fresh for a long time and stays juicy)
