Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- 2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. Add the baking powder and mix to combine.
- 3
Add the oil and eggs to the dry ingredients. Gradually pour in the hot milk and stir until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
- 4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 5
While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze: combine the condensed milk and cocoa in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides.
- 6
Remove the cake from the oven and immediately pour the warm glaze over it so it soaks right in.
- 7
Finish with shredded coconut if desired. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Whole milk gives the crumb extra moisture. Serve warm for the glossiest, gooiest glaze experience.
