(Adapted from Smitten Kitchen)
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1 cup of packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1/2 cup of low-fat yoghurt
1/2 cup of milk
1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1.5 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 cups of cocoa powder (If you're using Dutch processed, keep the recipe as is. If not, eliminate the baking powder and up the baking soda to 1/2 a teaspoon.)
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
Broken up chocolate bits to scatter on top (70% cocoa dark chocolate is the way to go on this.)
This evaporated into thin air. As you finish this post, there will be no more of this cake in this world. Until you make it.
Piece of cake?
Oh i wouldn't mind for that one slice of beautiful cake...Super yum!
ReplyDeleteAnanda: Thanks for passing by. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can count me in the chocolate camp. Delicious. So moist looking. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteredmenace: Thanks for dropping by. Glad I helped someone else in the chocolate camp!
ReplyDeleteI am in the chocolate camp, can I be in both camps though? Yes, I want a piece, looks delish!
ReplyDeleteCamala: Both camps are open to all! :D
ReplyDeleteIt COULD be frosting if you don't cook it... You know what I would do? Peel off the top layer of the cake, crackled piece by crackled piece. I like the doneness of the top and ends of cake. So sue me.
ReplyDeleteBaking Barrister: Ooh. I love the cake crust. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the cake. Mm!
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of a chocolate cake that's so delicious it disappears in an instant. Must try!
ReplyDeleteEmma: Thanks for stopping by. :)
ReplyDeleteThi slooks like a cake i want a slice of. OH MY! Sooooooooo Goooood!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI JUST made this. It has been out of the oven for 30 minutes now and it looks brilliant! Can't wait to try it when Amgad is home. Thanks, this was very simple and hard to screw up :)
This looks tasty! I've tried the Smitten Kitchen recipe, too, but will have to give your version a go as well... this definitely looks better than I remember (and the original wasn't bad!)
ReplyDeleteBlue Penguin: Haha. Thanks for the boost of confidence. I personally preferred my version to the Smitten Kitchen one. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Jazzie, I hope it went well. My regards to Amgad! :D
ReplyDeleteJoudie: Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThe cake was great, it didn't turn out as crispy on the outside with me, it's because of my oven temperature, it's a bit off. Bread NEVER works with me :(
Adam and Amgad loved the cake, thanks :)
Hey Jazzie, I'm glad it went alright. Next time, try to preheat your oven a little longer maybe. It could get it to stabilize the temperature. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cake. Just what I want right now, trying to convince myself that low fat yogurt in this makes it healthier LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteKulsum: Haha! It's an awesome cake. You should make it and eat it for breakfast only. It'll cut down on the guilt. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cake, it's so dark and intense, just how I like my chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteSheena: I also prefer chocolate cakes to be dark and rich. Thanks for stopping by. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is without a doubt the best-looking DIY chocolate cake we've come across! Your pictures actually induced us to ambush the fridge and pop the first rich chocolatey thing we see in our mouths! Will try this recipe out! Your blog is super awesome btw =)
ReplyDeleteBob and Julie! Hello, you guys! Thank you so much for your awesome compliment. Hope you enjoyed the chocolatey thing you indulged in. If you're looking for something quick, this is always a great option: http://www.buttered-up.com/2010/07/microcupcake-technologic.html.
