The moment of Preparation

Firstly, you have to sift the flour, the vanilla powder, the cocoa powder and the salt in the mixer bowl. (Sifting is a very important step because it breaks up any lumps in the solid ingredients especially the flour and aerates them at the same time).

Then you put the remaining ingredients in the mixer bowl and beat them at low speed for two minutes until they become a mixture.

After that you need to beat the ingredients at higher speed for four minutes. Grease and flour a cake pan. Pour the mixture in the cake pan and bake it at 180ºC / 356F for 55 minutes. Bake it in the oven until a knife inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for ten minutes before removing to a cake platter or plate.

And now is time to prepare the white chocolate glaze. Mince the white chocolate and put it in a pot. Add slowly the milk. At low heat allow the chocolate to melt and homogenize the glaze. Cool the glaze and after putting the cake on a platter pour the glaze on it. If desired sprinkle chocolate truffle, strawberries or whatever else you can imagine.

Have fun!

And finally cut the cake gently in thin slices and enjoy.

Enjoy your delicious cake!
