STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C to prepare for baking your crying cake.
STEP 2: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and then add the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
STEP 3: Whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy and light; this gives airiness to the sponge cake.
STEP 4: Then incorporate the oil and milk while mixing gently.
STEP 5: In another bowl, mix the flour, bitter cocoa, and baking powder.
STEP 6: Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring slowly to avoid lumps.
STEP 7: Pour the mixture into a previously greased pan and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C.
STEP 8: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before unmolding it and transferring it onto a rack.
STEP 9: Prepare a mixture of milk and cocoa to soak the cake once it has 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 gourmet and tasty touch.
