GETTING READY
-
Sift the flour. Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften at room temperature. Prepare a baking pan, as well as a mixer or blender.
STEP 1
-
Break an egg into a deep container. Add sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat with a mixer or blender.
STEP 2
-
Pour in the milk and mix thoroughly again.
STEP 3
-
Add butter. Beat with a mixer on low speed or blender until smooth.
STEP 4
-
Mix flour with cocoa, salt and baking powder. Pour the butter-milk mixture into the dry ingredients in small portions. Mix thoroughly each time to avoid the formation of flour lumps.
STEP 5
-
Break the chocolate into small pieces or grate it on a coarse grater. Pour into the dough and mix.
STEP 6
-
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease the pan with vegetable oil. Pour the dough into it and smooth it out with a spoon or spatula.
STEP 7
-
Mix cocoa, butter, milk and sugar for the cream. Cover the dough in the form with this mixture so that it lies in an even layer. When baked, the cream forms an appetizing crust. Send the form with the dough into the oven for 40 minutes.
