Chocoholics will love this - yogurt is absolutely geat and makes the cake moist... just make sure the yogurt has not curdle!
100gms dark choc (chopped melt n mix with 1/2 cup water)
Yummy and moist!
Top pic is my terrible attempt at cake decorating!
I love baking cakes where everything goes into ONE big bowl - whisked/mixed, stirred and its ready for baking!
185gms butter
vanilla essence
1 3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups SRF
2/3 cup cocoa
1 cup water
Put all the ingredients in a bowl, beat on low speed until it combines and then increase speed until texture is smooth and changes colour. (Well mine didnt change much colour, but it was silky smooth, almost like rich moussy-shake!)
According to recipe, bake for 1 1/2 hours in moderate oven, but i am setting it to 50 mins on moderate oven.... and the best part of making this cake, both my kids helped.
My 34 month old (that is 2 yrs 10 month old) daughter held the electric mixer steadily - with supervision of course, while my 16 month old son (1 1/2 yr old) ahemz supervised the mixing he peered into the bowl to make sure it was smooth and consistent :P
As a reward, she got the spoon once i was done and he, well didnt like the batter too much. Oh well.
Note: thats my daughter's finger inching her way to the cake... took her all her might and willpower not to eat the cake immediately!
