Scale

- 25 grams natural cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 65 grams granulated sugar
- 60 grams milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 6-inch x 3-inch round cake ring with baking paper and secure the base with aluminum foil.

- Once set, demold the cake and serve.
