Easy Moist Chocolate Cake (Kakaolu Islak Kek)

Ingredients:

For the cake

- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup oil, I use sunflower oil
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder

For the sauce

- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur or brandy or granulated coffee (all optional)

- crushed pistachios, hazelnuts or shredded coconut for decoration on top

Preparation:

-Beat eggs and sugar together, then add milk and oil. Mix until smooth.
-In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder and cocoa powder.
-Mix dry and wet ingredients together until well combined.
-Pour in a greased 9 inch round baking pan and bake at 380F preheated oven for ~40-45 minutes until a tester poked into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-While the cake is baking, mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil until all melt down. Keep it warm.
-Once the cake is done, give it five minutes on a rack and then place it on a serving plate and slowly pour the sauce on top. You can poke little holes on the surface for the sauce to make its way, kind of wetting a rum cake.
