380g/1 canned evaporated milk 

1 cup oil

1 cup coco powder

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

B

3 large eggs

1tsp vanilla 

C

1 & 1/2 cup flour

1tsp baking soda 

1tsp baking powder

* I omitted condensed milk because I'm afraid my cake is too sweet, but turned out sweetness just nice. So for those who love sweet cake, you  do not need to omit condensed milk. 

* If you don't like this recipe, there are plenty of choice in YouTube, almost all of them are the same. so is your choice. 

Method:

* Line grease paper slightly taller then pan height that's help to lift up the cake later.  Make sure to line/cover 4 corners of the 20x20cm pan properly so as no leaking for the ganache pouring.

* B in a mixer, beat in low speed (3) for few seconds when it turn foamy off mixer, pour A in to foamy eggs and mix well speed (1) for few seconds.

* Add in C sifted ( flour+bp+bs ) into B. speed (1) mix to combine only do not over mix.

* Sift batter into baking pan.  

* I bake at 170c 80 mins. Standard 150c 40-60mins. Depends on your own oven heat. 

* Do not invert cake, leave cake inside the pan to cool.
