1 tablespoon baking powder
200g chocolate, chopped

Where to find ingredients
For the basics like eggs, milk, sugar, flour, and baking powder, any local supermarket or grocery store will do. The key ingredient here is sweetened condensed milk, which you will find in the baking aisle or alongside tinned milk products. Look for plain, full-fat chocolate blocks in the confectionery aisle to chop up yourself for the best melt; while chocolate chips are a handy substitute, chopping a slab of decent quality cooking chocolate is the traditional way to get that authentic texture.
Preparation method
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C
- Add the eggs, milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, margarine, flour, cornflour, and baking powder into a blender and blitz until you have a smooth, well-combined batter
- Prep a 22cm cake tin by lightly greasing it with a bit of margarine
- Pour only half of the batter into the tin and scatter the chopped chocolate evenly over the top
- Finish by pouring the remaining batter over the chocolate layer
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer comes out clean
- Take it out of the oven, let the cake cool down for a few minutes, then carefully turn it out to serve
Observations
This is a super practical recipe, perfect for when you need a tasty treat whipped up in a blender in no time. Using sweetened condensed milk in the batter creates a wonderfully moist texture and adds just the right amount of sweetness.
