How to Prepare the Two-Tone Squares
In a bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Mix with the electric mixer.
Add the milk, oil, and liquor. I used rum, but you can use another liquor of your choice. (If you don’t like liquor, you can use the grated zest of an untreated lemon). Mix with the electric mixer.
Add the flour and baking powder. Mix everything well with the electric mixer, being careful not to create lumps.
Add chocolate shavings or chips according to your taste. (I used about 1 oz of dark chocolate). Mix with a spoon.
Pour a little more than half of the batter into a 6-serving disposable aluminum tray previously greased and floured or lined with parchment paper. If you want to take a look at my pan you can find it here.
To the remaining batter, add the cocoa powder. Mix with the electric mixer.
Pour the cocoa batter into the pan. If you like, add more chocolate shavings on the surface.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 30/35 minutes. Make sure to check the cooking times based on your oven.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and cut into squares.
Help yourself.
