Steps

1

Beat the eggs with the sugar on low speed until fluffy, then gradually add the milk and vegetable oil, alternating between them.
2

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly.
3

Grease a baking dish or pan, pour in the batter, and bake at 350°F (180°C) in a preheated oven with fan on the middle rack for about 25 minutes.
4

For the syrup, bring 2 cups water and 2 cups sugar to a boil. Add 1.75 ounces dark chocolate and the juice of half a lemon, and let it simmer for 3 minutes.
Pour the hot syrup slowly over the hot cake so it absorbs well. Let it cool completely.
5

For the glaze, heat the heavy cream, then add 7 ounces dark chocolate and stir constantly until it thickens.
Remove from heat, add the butter, and stir until melted and glossy. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake.
