STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C to prepare for baking your crying cake.
STEP 2: In a mixing bowl, break the eggs and then add the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
STEP 3: Whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy and light, as this gives the sponge cake its fluffiness.
STEP 4: Then incorporate the oil and milk while carefully mixing.
STEP 5: In another bowl, mix the flour, unsweetened cocoa, and baking powder.
STEP 6: Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly to avoid lumps.
STEP 7: Pour the preparation into a greased pan and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C.
STEP 8: Let the cake cool for a few minutes before unmolding it and transferring it to a rack.
STEP 9: Prepare a mixture of milk and cocoa to soak the cake once cooled.
STEP 10: Drizzle the cake with this mixture to achieve that melting texture that suits it so well, hence its name.
STEP 11: Finally, prepare a chocolate ganache to coat the cake before serving.
STEP 12: Decorate with whipped cream for an even more indulgent and tasty touch.
