Preparación/Preparation
Paso 1
Step 1
I started preparing this cake last night because the person wanted it early this morning, so I made it last night because the cake does need time to bake. In a bowl, I added the butter and sugar to make the first mixture, and I stirred it until it became soft and fluffy.

Once the mixture looked fluffy, I added the eggs and vanilla, and continued mixing until everything was well combined.

Then in a separate container I added the flour, the tablespoon of baking powder and 100 grams of cocoa, then I passed all of that through a sieve, so that it would not form lumps, and I was stirring everything and as I gradually added the milk until all the ingredients were integrated.

Once the mixture was ready, I poured it into a one-kilo cake pan and baked it at a moderate temperature for about 45 minutes. After that time, I let it cool completely and then stored it away until I was ready to decorate.

Step 5
Since the cake is going in today, I started preparing the chocolate mixture for the filling and frosting. For that, I used one cup of sugar, the remaining sugar, half a liter of milk, 50 grams of cocoa powder, and 40 grams of cornstarch. I put all of that in a saucepan and cooked it over low heat until it became a thick, smooth mixture.

By the time I had to add the filling and frosting, I had to cut the cake in half to add the filling. I didn't take a picture of this part because my hands were busy. After that, I put the other half of the cake on and added the frosting and chocolate chips.
