Chocolate Birthday Cake

Ooooooooww tomorrow it's my birthday and I have to enjoy my cake and sparkling wine with my friends tonight...at midnight...we'll enjoy!
My 20th birthday *_* can't wait and believe!
Ingredients
For cake:
3 eggs
12 tablespoons of oil (seed or olive)
2 tablespoons of flour
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
5 tablespoons of cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 glass of milk
For chocolate frosting:
1 cup butter room temp
1 cup cocoa powder
2 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon almond extract


Preheat the oven at 180°.
Whisk eggs with sugar until smooth.
In a medium bown mix all dried ingredients and slowly add them to eggs mixture. Mix well until fluffy!
After add oil and milk and stir together until smooth and incorporated.
Pour it into two baking tins and bake them at 180° for 40-50 minutes. Check with a toothpick ;)
To prepare the frosting: mix the cocoa powder and powdered sugar together. In another bowl, cream butter until fluffy. Mix in 1/3 of the cocoa/sugar mixture. Add about 1/3 of the milk. Repeat this until all the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk are added. Mix in the almond extract. The frosting should be spreadable at this point. If not, add in more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Fill the cake and the whole surface with chocolate cream, and place in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
I sprinkled with some colouring funfetti =D
