Cinq Cents Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the Cinq Cents will bake evenly.

2. 2

   Prepare Baking Pan

   Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

3. 3

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cacao powder, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

4. 4

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well.

5. 5

   Melt Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, let it cool slightly before adding to the wet ingredients.

6. 6

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the melted butter into the wet ingredients and mix well. Then add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

7. 7

   Bake

   Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. 8

   Cool and Frost

   Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
