Add the oil and continue mixing, then add the milk and mix again carefully. Finally, add the sifted all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder, and lastly, add the baking powder and fine salt and mix thoroughly to obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter. Butter and flour a 10×10 inches pan and pour the batter. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 35 minutes, do the toothpick test.
In a saucepan, pour the condensed milk with the milk, cocoa powder, and mix carefully. Bring to the heat and let cook until it boils, always stirring with the whisk. Finally, add the chopped dark chocolate and let it melt completely while continuing to stir carefully. Turn off the heat and let cool with plastic wrap in contact.
