π₯ Cooking Methods: No Oven Needed!
Now comes the fun partβbaking it without an oven.
Stovetop Method:

Cover the pan tightly and reduce the flame to low.
Cook for 20β30 minutes, checking around the 20-minute mark with a toothpick.
Oven Method (if preferred):
Preheat your oven to 160Β°C (320Β°F).
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20β30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly before removing from the pan and slicing.
π― Tips for Perfect Results
Beat the egg and sugar really well to get a light, airy texture. Youβre creating structureβdonβt rush it!
Use a heavy-bottomed pan to avoid burning the bottom.
Keep the heat low once the cake starts cooking to allow even baking.
Add a pinch of instant coffee to the cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
