I melted butter in warm milk and mixed it well with cocoa powder. In many cases, chocolate is melted with cocoa powder to create a rich flavor of chocolate, but I only used cocoa powder without chocolate, instead of mixing it with flour as usual, but with melted milk. Mixing cocoa powder with milk and butter is similar to melting dark chocolate, right? The scent of cocoa is so strong and good. Even before I make it, it's ppyong ppyong ppyong ppyong

Let's officially start the dough. Whip the egg whites, then spread the sugar three times. (+ salt)

If you make a hard meringue with soft horns

Whip the yolk one at a time and mix evenly with the meringue.

When the yolk is mixed evenly, sift the powder again and mix it evenly so that there is no lumpy powder and the meringue does not turn off.

When the powder is mixed evenly, take out a little of the dough, put it in the melted milk & butter + cocoa powder, and mix it evenly,

If you put it back in the dough and mix it well

The cocoa-flavored dough is complete.

Raise your cheeks high and pour the dough into a teflon-sheet pan,

Sprinkle almond slices evenly and bake in an oven at 160-170 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.

If you poke it with a toothpick and you don't get anything on it, it's cooked, and these castella and sponge cakes start to ripen at the bottom, and the top is cooked at the end, so it's important to make sure that the bottom is well cooked.

Take it out of the pan, take off the Teflon sheet, cool it down, and it's delicious right away, but it's even more delicious because it's much more moist if you put it in a plastic bag or container and leave it sealed for a day.

A dark chocolate cake with a bitter cocoa scent has been completed. You can't see it because the almond slice covered it, but as always, one side swelled up and exploded, the shape became a little ugly, but I'm going to eat it with my family at home.

You can see the dark chocolate cake that smells like cocoa just by looking at it, right? Dark chocolate cake that captures not only the tip of your tongue but also the tip of your nose, which is excellent in the rich taste and aroma of chocolate while reducing the amount of sugar. Once you taste it, you'll fall in love with it.
