Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (Maizena)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups oat milk
- 1/2 cup sunflower oil (or corn oil)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 vial orange essence
- 1 vial vanilla essence
- 1 pinch fine salt
Tools

Steps
Prepare the pan lined with parchment paper (soaking and squeezing the paper makes it easy to shape it in the pan).
Turn on the oven in static mode at 350°F.
Pour the oat milk, oil, sugar, and essences into a bowl and mix with the whisk.
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cocoa, and baking powder and sift them. Add the pinch of salt, pour the liquids over the powders, and mix with the whisk until the batter is smooth and without lumps. Incorporate chocolate chips, leaving a tablespoon aside.
Pour the batter into the pan and add the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake at mid-height in static oven and cook for 45 minutes at 350°F. Turn off the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes with the door ajar. The cake will remain a little moist, which is a characteristic of this dessert. Wait until it is cool to slice it.
Tips
Serve the Cocoa Cake without lactose, eggs, and butter accompanied by whipped vegetable cream or apple compote.
