Steps
In a bowl, start by beating the eggs with a pinch of salt for a few minutes. Add the sugar and continue beating for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is frothy. After 5 minutes, pour the oil in a thin stream and add the milk, continuing to work the batter for a few more minutes.
Add the flour and baking powder, sifted, little by little. Once all the flour is incorporated, divide the batter into two parts.
Because the batter will be quite thick, to one half, before adding the sifted cocoa, pour in half a small glass of milk — about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) — so the cocoa incorporates better.
Butter and flour an 8–9 in pan. Using a spoon, pour the batter: the light batter on one side and the dark batter on the other.
To complicate things for myself, I made two inverted layers by putting the light batter over the dark and vice versa, creating a double embrace. You don’t need to complicate things like I did 😂
Bake at 338°F for about 50 minutes, always performing the toothpick test. Let cool completely. The double embrace bundt cake is ready to be enjoyed.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I substitute cow’s milk?
Certainly, you can use the same quantity of almond drink, soy, or oat milk.
What if I don’t have a 8–9 in pan?
If you use a larger pan, the bundt cake will be lower and the baking time may decrease by about 5–10 minutes; always perform the toothpick test.
Why is the batter very thick?
It’s normal for the batter to be firm to prevent the two colors from mixing completely, keeping the “embrace” effect well defined.
