The Story Behind the Cake

As we prepare to bake, Paola reminisces about her daughter’s past birthdays, notably creating a cherry chocolate cake when her daughter turned nine. The recipe can also incorporate other fruits like guava or passion fruit, allowing you to experiment based on what you have available.

Preparing the Cake Layers

This chocolate cake consists of four layers, and we’ll divide the recipe into two baking pans. First step: sifting the dry ingredients. This includes all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, a pinch of salt, and dark cocoa powder. Sifting not only ensures there are no lumps but also aerates the flour, contributing to a fluffier cake.
