• 😀 No blender? No problem! You can mix all the ingredients by hand to make the cake batter.
• 😀 The recipe uses simple ingredients like eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, hot water, and oil.
• 😀 If you don't have bicarbonate of soda, you can use just baking powder, though bicarbonate makes the cake darker and richer in color.

• 😀 An extra chocolate syrup (optional) is made with milk, cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and butter, which can be poured over the hot cake.

• 😀 You can store the cake for 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge, ensuring it’s covered to prevent it from drying out.
