Method
 

How to Make Love Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your round cake pan with a bit of butter or parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Beat the eggs in another bowl with vanilla extract and whole milk until smooth and creamy. Gradually incorporate into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when done.
  6. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
