Ingredients
200 g (1 1/3 cups) flour
½ cup sugar
100 g (6 ½ tablespoons) butter + extra for the form (about ½ pack)
4 tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon brandy
2 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 pinch of salt
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 210 ° C. Butter a medium round form with a hole and fry it. Mix flour with baking powder and vanilla.
Step 2:
Mix the butter with sugar until it is soft and add the egg yolks one by one. Then, stir in the flour and milk.
Step 3:
Mix the egg whites separately in a tight meringue and incorporate it into the yolk mixture.
Step 4:
Put half the mixture in the form and stir the cocoa and brandy in the rest. Place a spatula on various points of the dough to mix the two mixes.
Step 5:
Bake the cake for 10 minutes, lower the oven to 180 ° C and continue baking for another 20 minutes, until a wooden skewer that you will insert into the centre of the cake becomes dry. Allow to cool down while in the mold, then remove it and let it cool down.
