Advice
- This is the recipe for a very delicate cake. If you decide to remove it from the pan, wait 10 minutes for it to cool.
- If you intend to put the cake on the aluminum-coated tray, place the latter on top of the cake pan. Keep one hand in the center of the tray and the other under the pan with the cake, with a single movement overturn everything so that the cake lies gently on the tray without falling heavily.
Warnings
- To prevent the residue of white flour you used to flour the pan from noticing on the chocolate cake, use cocoa.
- Now on the market there are spray oils to grease the trays and they can be very convenient. Don't sprinkle them on the flour though!
- If you turn the cake upside down without the support of a tray, you could create large cracks in the cake and even break it.
