Chocolate Moist Cake

Ingredients:
 

For the cake 1  ¾ cups all purpose flour 1 ¾ cups sugar (1cup + ¾ cup separated) 1 ½ tsps baking soda ½ tsp salt 8 pcs eggs ¾ cup warm water ½ cup cocoa powder ½ cup vegetable oil 2  tsps vanilla ½ tsp cream of tartar shortening (for greasing)

For the chocolate icing ¼ bar butter ¼ cup cocoa powder 1 can evaporated milk (370ml) 1 can condensed milk (300ml) 2 pcs egg yolks 1 tsp vanilla 3 tbsps all purpose flour

 What to do:

1. Make the batter.   Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs. In a bowl, mix the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking soda and salt together. Melt the cocoa powder in the warm water. Pour the cocoa mixture into the eggs. Mix in the oil and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients and the cocoa mixture together. Mix the batter until it becomes smooth. 2. Make the meringue Make the meringue. Put the cream of tartar together with the egg whites. Using the whisk attachment beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the ¾ cup of sugar. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure that the egg whites are beaten evenly. Beat until peaks form or until it holds its shape. Tip: There are two ways to check if the meringue is ready. Dip a spatula in the meringue. The tip of the  meringue on the spatula should be stiff enough to stand alone. Invert the bowl. If the meringue doesn’t spill, then it is beaten well. 3. Combine the meringue and the batter and bake. Fold in the batter in the meringue. Fold the meringue and the batter evenly. Pour the mixture in the greased and lined pan. Bake in a preheated  350°f oven for 45 minutes or until when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 4. Make the Chocolate icing. In a bowl, combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks, vanilla, and flour. In a double boiler, melt the butter. Then add the cocoa. Mix the cocoa until it becomes pasty. Add the milk mixture and stir continuously until it is thick enough. Let it cool first before applying on the cake. 5. Decorate your cake. Apply the chocolate icing.  You can add sprinkles or other decorations to your cake.
