This cake recipe is easy to make and will bring a smile to your face. Let's get started! Total time: 50 minutes Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Number of servings: 12 triangles Ingredients: - 3 eggs - 150 g granulated sugar - 100 g margarine (or butter for a richer taste) - 200 g flour - 1 heaping tablespoon of cocoa - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - powdered sugar for decoration (optional) - chocolate topping (optional) Steps for preparation: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This will help achieve a better consistency. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (356°F). 2. Beating the egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until frothy. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a stiff meringue that forms peaks when you lift the mixer. 3. Preparing the yolk mixture: In another bowl, beat the yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar until pale yellow and fluffy. Add the melted margarine (make sure it's not hot to avoid cooking the yolks) and mix well. 4. Combining the ingredients: In the bowl with the egg whites, add the yolk mixture. Gently fold the ingredients with a spatula, being careful not to lose volume. Then, sift the flour, cocoa, and baking powder over the mixture, adding the vanilla sugar as well. Mix gently until combined. 5. Baking: Prepare a large baking tray (approximately 30x40 cm) by greasing it with margarine and dusting it with flour. Pour the mixture into the tray and level it with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cake is firm to the touch and passes the toothpick test. 6. Cooling and cutting: Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the cake into triangles. 7. Decorating: If desired, dust the triangles with powdered sugar or drizzle melted chocolate topping over them for a decadent look. Serving suggestion: These cocoa triangles are delicious alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a berry sauce for a contrast of flavors. Possible variations: You can experiment with additions like chopped nuts, raisins, or even a bit of espresso in the mixture for a more intense flavor. If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar. These cocoa triangles are truly a simple and quick recipe that you will love. Try making them and let their tempting aroma carry you away!
