2 and ½ cup flour.

1 teaspoon of baking soda.

½ teaspoon salt.

1 cup milk.

2 tablespoons vinegar.

200 grams of butter.

1 and ¾ cups sugar.

4 egg yolks.

1 tablespoon vanilla essence.

3 egg yolks.

INSTRUCTIONS

 

Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease, and flour a baking pan.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave.

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, mix the milk with the vinegar.

Beat the butter and add the sugar little by a little while mixing. Add the egg yolks, the vanilla essence, and the melted chocolate.

Add the flour and the milk, beating with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Separately, beat the egg whites until they form peaks and fold into the previous batter.

Spread over the mold and bake in the oven for 35 minutes (until a toothpick or knife comes out dry and clean).

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes, unmold and place on a wire rack.

To prepare the bitumen, heat the milk with the sugar, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla essence while whisking until it thickens.

Remove from the heat, add the grated coconut and chopped walnuts.

Finally, we have to assemble the recipe: cut the chocolate cake in half, cover half of the frosting, and cover. The rest of the frosting is for covering.

Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve, accompanied with a delicious coffee or tea.
