- In a large bowl, combine egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract, beat until fluffy. Add butter and beat until smooth and thick, then gradually add flour and baking powder and beat together. Finally, add melted chocolate and mix well.
- Whisk egg whites until smooth peaks form, then fold them into the above mixture.
- Line parchment paper or grease with melted butter on the bottom of the mold, then pour the cake mixture in, spread evenly.
- Preheat the oven to about 150°C for 5 minutes, then bake the cake for 50 minutes - 1 hour. When finished baking, you can use a toothpick to check; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.

- Vanilla extract, lemon juice: Each 1 teaspoon
Procedure:
- Separate egg whites from yolks.
- In a large bowl, combine egg yolks, cooking oil, vanilla, and half of the sugar, then beat until the mixture turns pale yellow.
- In another bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and baking powder. Gradually sift the mixed flour into the egg yolk mixture, then add milk little by little and mix until you get a smooth mixture.
