Yogurt cake: Strong Chocolate flavor

Yogurt cake: Strong Chocolate flavor

I learned this recipe from my mom: an economical cake among the easiest to make, especially for beginners in the kitchen. The yogurt cake appeared in France after the Second World War; and as its name suggests, the basis of this dessert is yogurt , in particular that the pot will serve us - in the Recipe - as a unit of measure.  

Yogurt :

A dairy product, made from cow or sheep milk, fermented, is now "plain", flavored or fruit; drink (liquid) or consume with a spoon. At home, currently, yogurt can be made with or without a yogurt maker.

Recipe:

Ingredients: for six (6) people

·        A pot of yogurt: I chose a fruit yogurt (with forest fruits);

·        Two eggs;

·        ¾ jar of sugar;

·        A pot of oil;

·        A pot of prepared coffee;

·        A packet of baking powder;

·        Two tablespoons of cocoa;

·        ¼ teaspoon vanilla;

·        Orange zest (optional);

·        Two and a half jars of flour .

For the frosting: this frosting can be kept - in a jar - cool, and used for toast: 

·        ½ glass of cocoa

·        ½ glass of icing sugar

·        ½ glass of milk

·        ½ glass of oil

·        ¼ teaspoon vanilla

·        Aroma: hazelnut, almond ... (optional)

Preparation:

§  Switch on the oven at 180 °;

§  Butter the mold of your choice, and put it in the freezer to facilitate the release of the cake;

§  In a timbale empty the yogurt pot;

§  Add the dry ingredients measured with the same jar: mix;

§  stir in eggs, oil and coffee: beat it all;

§  pour the mixture into the buttered pan, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes: check the doneness using a knife.

§  After baking, take the cake out of the oven, let it cool down for ten minutes and then turn out. 

Chocolate icing:

In a jug with blender arm, put all the ingredients and mix until a texture like that of mayonnaise.    

Ice the cake ...

Later, you can replace cocoa with lemon, orange peel ... or incorporate raisins (or other dried fruits), chocolate chips or candied fruit. 

At the table, surrounded by your family and / or guests, I wish you a good tasting and ... Enjoy your meal..
