Directions

Cake

1 – Preheat the oven at 180°C.

2 – In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder and soluble coffee.

3 – In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, milk, egg and oil until it is completely combined.

4 – Add the flour mixture into the batter and beat it manually. Try not to overmix.

5 – Transfer the cake batter into the grassed pans and bake for 30 – 35 min.

6 – Take the cake from the oven and let it cool completely for about 20 min before frosting the cake.

Frosting

- Whip the cream with sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks are formed. I recommend placing the bowl where we are going to whip the cream over another bowl containing water and ice.

- Incorporate the condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula.
