Equipment
- 1 (26 cm/10-inch) round pan (or 2 English cake pans – baking time will change)
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup oil (vegetable or sunflower seed oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 200 ml plain yogurt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup hot cocoa mix
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 25 ml espresso , optional
- 100 grams chocolate chips , optional
Chocolate Sauce
- 100 grams dark or milk chocolate (you can also mix)
- ¾ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 170°C (340°F) and grease or line a 26 cm (10-inch) round cake pan.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, salt, and yogurt. If using coffee, add it now.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, cocoa mix, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the pan, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top (don’t press them in too much, or they may sink), and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Prepare the sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and cream together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each. Don’t overheat—it should take about 1 minute or no more than 3 rounds. The chocolate will continue to melt as you stir when it's hot enough.
- Finish: Poke holes in the warm cake with a skewer, then pour the sauce over it. Let the cake cool for a few minutes before adding sprinkles or other toppings to prevent them from melting. Let the cake cool a bit before serving.
