A simple but extremely tasty dessert, perfect for any time of the day!

Ingredients:

200 ml warm water
130 g sugar
80 g honey (or jam, depending on preference)
2/3 teaspoon soda (baking soda)
80 g margarine
200 g flour (amount may vary slightly)
40 g cocoa powder
A pinch of salt
Oil (for greasing the pan)
Powdered sugar (for decoration, optional)

Optional: chocolate chips and roasted peanuts

Preparation Method:

Preparing the tray:

Grease the cake pan with a little oil.
Line it with baking paper to prevent sticking.

Liquid mixture:

In a large bowl, add the sugar and honey (or jam), warm water, salt powder, and baking soda.
Mix well with a whisk until the ingredients are completely dissolved.

Incorporating margarine:

Add the melted margarine and continue mixing to achieve a homogeneous texture.

Adding the dry ingredients:

Sift the flour and cocoa over the liquid mixture.
Mix gently with a spatula or whisk until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.

Optional additions:

If you wish, add chocolate chips and roasted hazelnuts to the dough for extra texture and flavor.

Pouring into the tray:

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, leveling the surface.

Baking:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Bake the cake for about 40 minutes. Check if it is ready using a toothpick – if it comes out clean, the cake is baked.

Cooling and decoration:

Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a simple yet elegant decoration.

Serve the cake with a cup of tea or coffee. It is delicious and soft, with an intense cocoa aroma and a subtle sweetness from the honey.
