FAQ
For chocolate cake:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Cut three 9-inch circular parts of parchment paper to line the cake pots. Sprinkle each frying pan generously – sides and bottom – with a non-stick cooking spray, then place the cut parchment paper in the bottom of the pans and sprinkle again. It is important to make sure that each piece of pan and paper is sprayed so that your cakes do not falter. Put the pans aside.
In the stabilized mixer bowl with paddle accessory, or in a large bowl using a hand-held electric mixer, combine both sugars, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt; Mix the low ingredients until the dry ingredients are well combined. Use your hands to dismantle any large blocks, if necessary.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks, sour cream, milk, oil and vanilla extract; Mix until completely blended. Pour the mixture into dry ingredients and beat on low heat until just combined. Pour into hot water and keep mixing until completely blended; About 1 minute. The mixture will be very thin.
