Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
3 eggs
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and milk. Whisk together until well blended.
3. Mix in Cocoa Powder:
- Gradually add the dry cocoa powder to the butter and milk mixture, whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps. The mixture should be smooth and chocolaty.
4. Add Baking Soda:
- Stir in the baking soda, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Combine Flours:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and the all-purpose white wheat flour. This will help to remove any clumps and ensure the flour is light and airy.
6. Incorporate Flours into Wet Mixture:
- Gradually add the sifted flours into the wet chocolate mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Add Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into the batter, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Ensure the eggs are fully integrated into the batter, resulting in a smooth and glossy mixture.
8. Pour into Pan:
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake:
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can frost the cake with your favorite icing, dust it with powdered sugar, or serve it plain with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing to get a smooth batter.

- Sift the dry ingredients together to avoid any lumps in the batter.

- Use a good quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.

- Don't overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients to avoid a dense cake.

- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving to enhance the flavors.
