Cooking Instructions for making Chocolate Bento Cake
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and line two 5-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and set aside
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cornflour, baking powder, bicarbonate soda, and salt
Into the dry mixture, mix in the oil, egg, vanilla, and buttermilk until just combined
Slowly pour in the hot water or hot coffee, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and runny
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely
Once fully cooled, frost cake with your favorite buttercream, ganache, or whipped cream. Decorate to your liking and enjoy your cute bento-style chocolate cake 😊
