How I actually did it

- ~¾cup vegetable oil
- 1½ cups sugar
- ~1 cup Nesquick® (didn't have cocoa powder, oops)
- 1 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- ~1 tbsp baking powder (didn't have baking soda, oops)
- ~1 tbsp vanilla
- ~3-4 cups flour to thicken
- Chocolate and butterscotch chips as topping
Instructions
- Mix butter, oil, sugar, and cocoa in pot on low-medium heat until completely liquid
- Add milk and mix until it starts to boil (get as much sugar dissolved as possible)
- Stick in fridge for a while until cool (a little warm is fine)
- Mix in eggs
- Mix in baking soda(/powder), then vanilla
- Add flour to thicken (no more than 1 cup at a time)
- Pour into pan
- Bake in oven at about ~300F. (I started at 275 and kept turning it up by 25° or so, gradually. I may have gotten to 350° in the end, but I forget)
- After ≥10 mins add chocolate chips and butterscotch chips to top
- Let bake about an hour+ until knife comes out dry
- Add frosting?
Original Russian as sent by Tolgonay
"200 г маргарин (или слив. масло) + 1,5 стакан (или 1 ст.) сахара) + 1-2 стакана какао= перемешать, + 1 ст.молоко=мешать все это до кипения. Взять с газа и поставить, чтобы масса стала чуть-чуть теплой. Потом в эту массу добавишь 4 яйца+1 неполная чайная ложка соды, ванилин по вкусу+ мука немного=пусть получится жидкая масса. Эту массу положишь в форму кекса или в сковородку и положить в духовку (100-120 градусов). Потом через 5-10 минут положишь изюм или орехи в эту массу. Кекс готов или нет, можно узнать, положив в кекс нож. Если нож сухой, то кекс значит готов. Сверху кекса положить сахарную пудру."
