Fast Black Cake

 Ingredients: oil 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 cup jam 3 tablespoons chopped or ground nuts 1 cup cocoa 3 tablespoons flour 4 cups soda or juice 2 cups 1 tablespoon baking soda For the glaze: 150 g margarine 150 g sugar 50ml water 3 tbsp cocoa

To prepare a delicious frosted cake, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure you have quality flour, sugar, eggs, milk, oil, baking powder, and a drop of vanilla essence for added flavor. Mix the ingredients with a spatula or a mixer until you achieve a smooth, flowing batter without lumps. It is important not to overmix, as this could develop the gluten in the flour, making the cake denser.

Once the batter is ready, take a baking tray measuring 36/34 cm and line it with parchment paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the tray and will make it easier to remove after baking. Carefully pour the mixture into the tray, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature of about 180 degrees Celsius, and place the tray in the preheated oven. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tray for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

In the meantime, you can prepare the frosting. In a small saucepan, place the desired frosting, whether it be chocolate, caramel, or a simple sugar glaze. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly. It is important not to let it boil too much, as it may harden. Once the frosting reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

When the cake layer has completely cooled, you can cut it into your preferred shapes: squares, diamonds, or triangles. Pour the frosting over each piece, ensuring it is evenly covered. If you wish to add a decorative element, you can sprinkle ground nuts, coconut flakes, or grated chocolate. Allow the frosting to set before serving the cake, to achieve a more appealing appearance. This frosted cake is perfect for any occasion, from parties to festive meals, and will surely impress everyone with its savory taste and attractive appearance.
