Steps for preparing the chocolate crazy cake
Prepare the cake starting with the baking pan: brush it with vegetable oil. In one corner, sift the all-purpose flour. In another corner, add the unsweetened cocoa powder, also sifted.
Add the granulated sugar, then water, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, or grated organic citrus zest. Add the baking soda, and finally, the vinegar. Mix with a hand whisk until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
Decorate with chocolate chips and bake at 350°F, static, for about 35 minutes. Do the toothpick test anyway. Let it cool, unmold, and serve.
Storage
The cake keeps for a few days under a glass dome.
