Chocolate Walnut Cake with Sparkling Mineral Water

Chocolate cake made with sparkling mineral water turns out huge, airy, and very moist - the carbonated water combined with baking powder gives it lift without whipping egg whites. The batter has two kinds of cocoa and walnuts, and bakes for 50-60 minutes at 160-180°C. It also works great as a chocolate cake base, I recommend it.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 200 g flour
• 300 g sugar
• 50 g Nesquik cocoa
• 30 g cocoa powder
• 10 g baking powder
• 5 eggs
• 160 ml mineral water sparkling
• 160 ml vegetable oil
• 100 g walnuts

Method

 

1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer into a fluffy foam, add the flour mixture, and beat again. Pour in the mineral water and vegetable oil, then fold in the walnuts at the end.
   
2. Pour the batter into a pan - it should be a large one, since the cake rises a lot.
   
3. Bake for 50-60 minutes in an oven preheated to 160-180°C. Check for doneness with a wooden skewer.
   
4. Let the finished cake cool. Enjoy!
   

Tips

• Use a pan with plenty of extra height: the batter rises a lot.
• This same cake works great as a chocolate base for a layer cake - just slice it into layers.
