Custard and Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• First layer:
• 2 eggs at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 5 tablespoons oil
• 5 tablespoons liquid milk at room temperature
• 5 tablespoons sifted flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder, leveled
• 2 tablespoons cocoa
• To soak the cake:
• 1/2 cup warm liquid milk
• 1 tablespoon cocoa
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Second layer:
• 2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder
• 1 tablespoon cocoa custard powder
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups cold milk or 6 tablespoons powdered milk and 2 cups water
• Third layer:
• Approximately 120 g chocolate (one bar or more)
• 1/4 cup hot liquid milk

Method

1. We start by preparing the cake: whisk the eggs with the vanilla, then add the sugar and continue whisking until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Add the oil and whisk, then add the room-temperature liquid milk and keep whisking with an electric mixer.
3. Add the flour, cocoa, and baking powder after sifting them, and continue whisking.
4. Use a 24 cm pan greased with oil and dusted with flour, then pour in the cake batter.
5. Bake the cake in a preheated oven from the bottom. Place it on the middle rack at 180°C for 20 minutes, or حسب the oven, making sure it is done after 20 minutes because the quantities are small and it does not need much time in the oven.

6. When the cake cools slightly, make holes in it with a small wooden skewer.
7. Dissolve the sugar and cocoa in 1/2 cup of warm milk (the milk set aside for soaking the cake), then soak the cake evenly.
8. Set the cake aside and prepare the custard.
9. Mix all the ingredients for the second layer while cold, then place them over the heat with constant stirring until the mixture thickens.
10. Remove from the heat, then spread it over the cake and leave it to cool for at least half an hour at room temperature.
11. Prepare the third and final layer: break up the chocolate and mix it with the hot milk, continuing to stir until the chocolate melts completely, then spread this sauce over the custard.
12. Place the custard and chocolate cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or more, until it sets and cools well before serving.
