Rustic Chocolate Cake From Modica

Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Start by chopping the chocolate in small pieces. In a bowl, combine the eggs at room temperature together with the brown sugar and whisk until the mixture becomes light and fluffy and doubles the original size. Add milk (always at room temperature) and mix completely. In a separate bowl, mix the baking powder and flour, after sifting, gradually add it to your egg mixture. Add the chopped chocolate to the ingredients and stir everything together with a whisk. Grease your baking pan or line with parchment paper to prevent the cake sticking. Put your cake in the center of the oven for 35 minutes. If you are using a ventilated electric oven, lower the heat to 160 degrees Celsius and avoid opening the oven once you’ve placed the cake inside. To see if it’s ready, stick a toothpick in a center and if it comes out dry, it’s ready. Optionally, you can dust powdered sugar on top once the cake has cooled.
