The best ever chocolate cake!!






This chocolate cake is a sure fire winner! its moist and rich and absolutely divine! Its the only chocolate cake recipe you'll ever need!

Ingredients:
110ml sunflower oil
150ml Plain Greek-Style yoghurt (any thick yoghurt will do)
100ml milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp instant coffee powder
1 cup warm water
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup baking cocoa
2 cups plain flour
2 cups castor sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 170°C.
Whisk together oil, yoghurt, milk, vanilla, coffee powder, warm water and eggs until foamy.
In a large bowl sift together baking soda, cocoa and flour and add the sugar.
Add the yoghurt mixture and whisk together until smooth.
Pour into a greased 9-inch cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes.
Dust with icing sugar or ice with your favourite frosting and serve.
I used chocolate ganache:
400gms dark chocolate chopped
11/2 cups cream
Heat cream in a heavy bottomed pan.
Bring it to a boil and pour it over the chocolate.
Wait for 1 min and then stir slowly with a spatula.
Be careful not to stir any air into the mixture. mix till it looks satiny.
Cool and then spread it on the cake.
Serve with a dollop of greek yoghurt on the side.
Enjoy!
