Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • 4 inch baking tin
  • Baking paper
  • Brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt

Frosting -

  • 30 gm double cream
  • 30 gm dark chocolate

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃, line a 4 inch baking tin with baking paper and brush with oil. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl add the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
  • Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 15-18 minutes until risen and tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Remove from the tin and let it cool completely before frosting.

  • Spread over the cooled cake and serve.

Notes

  • To make the frosting pourable and like an icing add 60gm cream and 30gm chocolate (to a bowl and heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds until the cream is hot and the chocolate is melting, stir until smooth and set aside to cool and firm up). Pour over the cooled cake, sprinkle with salt, slice and eat or just dig in with a fork.
