To make a delicious and flavorful dessert, start by preparing all the necessary ingredients. Make sure you have on hand 200 g of sugar, 250 ml of water, 100 ml of oil, a pinch of salt, 300 g of flour, 1 packet of baking powder, 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 200 g of fruit jam, preferably plum or apricot, to provide a delicious contrast.
The first step in preparing this dessert is to mix the sugar with the water in a suitably sized container. Use a spatula or a whisk to ensure that the sugar completely dissolves in the water. This will create a sweet and moist base for the recipe. After the sugar has melted, add the oil and a pinch of salt, continuing to mix to integrate all the ingredients. The oil will make the dessert soft and fluffy, while the salt will enhance the flavors.
In another bowl, sift the flour to avoid lumps and add the baking powder quenched in lemon juice or vinegar. This chemical reaction will help the dough rise. Start incorporating the flour into the wet mixture gradually, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Once you have obtained a homogeneous mixture, it’s time to add the cocoa. This will give a chocolate tint and an intense flavor.
The next step is to add the fruit jam, which will not only enrich the flavor but also add moisture to the dough. Mix again until the jam is evenly distributed in the mixture. Prepare a baking tray, which you can line with baking paper to avoid sticking. Carefully pour the batter into the tray, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and let the dessert bake for about 25 minutes. Make sure to perform the toothpick test at the end – it should come out clean from the center of the cake. Once the dessert is baked, let it cool in the tray, then you can take it out and cut it into portions. You can serve it plain or with a drizzle of jam on top for extra flavor. This will be a perfect dessert for any occasion!
