When fully cooled, lift the cake out and slice gently. The texture will be soft, smooth, and slightly fudgy. It doesn’t crumble. It melts quietly with each bite.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Cooling Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 40 minutes
Servings: 9 slices

Ingredients
  

  • Sweetened condensed milk — 1 standard can
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder — ½ cup
  • Eggs — 2 large
  • That’s all. No flour. No butter. No baking powder.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C / 340°F. Line a small baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth and slightly glossy.
  3. Pour in the condensed milk and stir gently until the mixture turns pale and thickens slightly.
  4. Sift the cocoa powder directly into the bowl. Fold slowly until the batter becomes deep brown, smooth, and silky.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake until the edges are set and the center feels softly firm. Do not overbake.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  8. Lift out, slice gently, and serve.
