• 150 gram Granulated sugar
• 4 unit Eggs
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder

4. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until fully incorporated.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
9. Serve chilled and enjoy!
