To prepare a delicious cake with an intense flavor and a perfect texture, we will start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 4 large eggs, 200 grams of sugar, 200 milliliters of water, and 100 milliliters of oil. Also, make sure you have 300 grams of flour, 10 grams of baking powder, and, depending on your preferences, 30 grams of cocoa or instant coffee, plus 100 grams of raisins.
The first step is to beat the eggs together with the sugar using a mixer. This process will add air to the mixture, making the cake fluffy. We mix until the eggs become a creamy mass and slightly light in color. Then, we gradually add the water and oil, continuing to mix. It is important that all ingredients are well combined to achieve a uniform texture.
After obtaining a homogeneous mixture, we will add the sifted flour along with the baking powder. We mix well but do not overdo it, so as not to activate too much gluten from the flour. Once the mixture is uniform, we divide the dough into two bowls. In one of them, we add the cocoa or instant coffee dissolved in a little water, while in the other we leave the dough natural, white. We also add the raisins to the cocoa mixture for an extra flavor.
Now we turn our attention to the tray in which we will bake the cake. We grease a tray of about 30x20 cm with butter and sprinkle flour, ensuring it is well covered so that the cake does not stick. We begin pouring the mixtures into the tray, alternating between the white dough and the one with cocoa. This technique will create a beautiful pattern inside the cake, giving it an attractive appearance.
While we are working on the cake, we preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Once the tray is filled, we place it in the oven and bake the cake for about 40 minutes. It is essential to test with a toothpick to check if it is baked inside. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. We let it cool slightly before cutting and enjoying it. This delicacy will surely bring joy to everyone who tastes it!
