Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

cake
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
150g butter
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup boiling water
1 plain yoghurt (125g)
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
frosting
120g butter
4 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F / 180C. In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking and set aside. In a saucepan melt the butter. Add the cocoa stirring until dissolved. Add the hot water and allow to boil for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and pour over the dry ingredients stirring well. In a small bowl mix the yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract. Pour over chocolate mixture and stir until the ingredients are combined (no need to use the electric mixer). Place on a rectangular baking pan and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. For the frosting melt the butter in a saucepan and add the cocoa stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat and add the milk, vanilla and powdered sugar. Pour the frosting over the cake while still hot and cut into squares.
