There are few cakes with as much character as chocolate.

Dark, brooding and mysterious in its sinful excess.... its a cake that fascinates and amazes me every single time I bake it.

This cake is a no-fuss, one bowl cake.

Meaning?

Just dump in the ingredients in the correct order, whip them into submission and bake the hell out of it!

Want the recipe?

Here goes!

You'll need :

1/2 Cup of Butter at room temperature

1 Egg

1/2 Cup Granulated sugar 

1/2 Cup Yoghurt

1/2 Milk

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 + 1/2 Cup Flour

3/4 cups Cocoa

1/4 Baking Soda

1/2 Baking Powder

What to do next?

Combine Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Vanilla. 

Whip till creamy.

Add the Cocoa.

Mix till even.

While you're doing this, put the oven on pre-heat at 160 C  :)

Once you're satisfied with this mixture, add in the milk and yoghurt.
Then, very slowly ( so that the flour doesn't fly up into your face!), Sift the Flour and Baking Powder + Baking Soda into it.



Tada! Batter ready!

Pour into a Baking tin and put into the oven at 160 C for 60 minutes.

At around 55 mins, open the oven and check if done. (Insert a skewer - I use spaghetti! - into the centre to see if its done!)

If its done, enjoy!
