    I just made it as a beginner baking a cake for the first time! I used Oat Beverage instead of regular milk, I also didn't have any other oil except for olive oil so I used that. Besides the hint of olive oil of the finished product, it's one of the most perfect cake I've ever had! The cake itself really is reasy to make, but the topping took a lot of time of effort and time for me. The whole thing took about 3 hours but it was well worth it! So light and fluffy!

    I've searched far and wide online for different chocolate cake recipes but almost always end up choosing to make this one instead again and again. A touch of espresso in the dry ingredients and the best quality veggie oil/dutch-cocoa/chocolate chips you can afford really elevates the richness of the cake since you're only really using a handful of ingredients.

      Would actually be good to make a massive batch of the dry stuff and keep it in an airtight container, and then figure out the wet ingredient proportion. E.g. 2 cups of dry needs + 1 egg + 1/2 cup of veg oil and milk. And then just adjust depending on the amount of batter you want to make. Someone grab a calculator!

Important note tho: don't leave this cake overnight at room temperature, the cake absorbs moisture really well and it will lose its integrity quickly. So eat it on the same day once it has cooled. Like it'll still taste delicious, just way more moist and fudgey. Also very difficult to maneuver.
