The Softest Cake in the World – It Melts in Your MouthIncredibly Delicious and Easy to Make

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• A pinch of salt
• 8g vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• 100ml milk
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee
• 180g all-purpose flour
• 20g unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably bitter)
• 15g baking powder (about 1 tablespoon)
• 120g sugar
• 100ml vegetable oil (like sunflower or canola oil)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a round cake pan (about 20 cm / 8 inch).
2. Prepare the coffee-milk mixture:
   In a small saucepan or microwave-safe cup, warm the milk slightly and dissolve the instant coffee in it. Set aside to cool.
3. Beat the eggs:
   In a mixing bowl, crack in the eggs. Add a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar, and regular sugar. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until it becomes light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
4. Add wet ingredients:
   Slowly pour in the vegetable oil while continuing to mix. Then add the coffee-milk mixture and mix again until well combined.
5. Add dry ingredients:
   Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.
6. Bake the cake:
   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and serve:
   Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
