include an unhealthy recipe in my blog for once!
If you're going to indulge I really think you should have the best of
whatever treat you're having and so for any chocolate lovers out there here
is the recipe of my much loved chocolate cake ... I guess the natural
yoghurt makes it slightly healthier (and tastier) than usual chocolate cake
recipes but apart from that it's sheer chocolatey indulgence. Extra
delicious iced hot out the oven and served straight away. Enjoy!
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and grease a 9 inch round cake tin,
line the bottom with grease proof paper.
Beat together 275g castor sugar, 175g margarine and 1 tsp vanilla essence
Beat in 3 eggs and once combined carefully stir in 175g low fat natural
yoghurt (to avoid curdling).
Sift in 225g self raising flour and 50g cocoa powder (rountrees is best if
you can get your hands on it, otherwise use green and blacks) + 1 tsp
bicarbonate of soda.
Stir until smooth and combined, pour into the baking tin.
Bake for 45minutes and leave to cool before taking out the tin. Put a plate
over the top of the cake and flip it over to give a perfectly smooth top for
icing.
For the icing melt 50g of margarine and then stir in 50g sifted cocoa
powder. Off the heat add 350g icing sugar and sufficient milk to get the
right consistency. Pour the icing over and smooth with a wet knife.
