Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  4. Beat three eggs and sugar on high speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Slowly mix the cooled melted chocolate into the egg mixture, followed by vegetable oil, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.
