Ingredients:
– ¾ cup (175ml) of vegetable oil
– 1 + ¼ (250 grams / 8.8Oz) cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup (245 grams / 8.6Oz) yogurt
– 1+ ½ cup (180 grams / 6.3Oz) All-purpose flour
– ¾ cup (75 grams / 2.6Oz) cocoa powder
– A pinch of salt
– 1 tsp baking powder
– ½ tsp baking soda
– ¼ cup milk
For the chocolate ganache:
– 2 cups chopped chocolate
– 1 cup fresh cream
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing your baking dish. Grease an 8-inch glass dish or a springform pan with vegetable oil and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, beat the two ingredients on high speed until they are well incorporated.
3. Add one cup of yogurt to the sugar and oil mixture. Mix well until the yoghurt is fully incorporated.
4. Sift in the dry ingredients, which are the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Sifting the ingredients will help incorporate as much air as possible into the batter, resulting in a fluffier cake.
5. Using a spatula, gently mix everything together. The idea is to mix just until all the dry ingredients are moistened and there are no lumps in the batter.
6. Add a quarter cup of milk to the batter and mix it in as well.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the microwave and cook for around 6 minutes. The exact time might vary depending on your microwave.
8. Once the cake is baked, let it cool a bit in the dish. Then, invert it on a wire rack and let it cool completely.
9. As the cake cools, prepare the chocolate ganache. Melt the chopped chocolate and fresh cream together until the mixture is smooth.
10. Coat the cooled cake with the chocolate ganache. Let it set for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
