Author's Notes

This cake can be baked, iced, and served in an oven-proof dish.

No yogurt or buttermilk? Add 1 1/2 tsp of vinegar to 250 ml milk.

Feel free to change things up by topping the cake with a can (or 2) of whipped Dulce de Leche and get creative with candy toppings and other sprinkles.

Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees C (180 degrees F). If using a baking tray, grease with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed) and line the base with baking paper.
Step 2
Place Granulated Sugar (3 cups) into a large bowl, then sift All-Purpose Flour (3 cups) , Baking Soda (1/2 Tbsp) , and Salt (1 pinch) into the bowl. Mix the sugar with the sifted ingredients.
Step 3
Heat Salted Butter (3/4 cup) , Water (1 1/2 cups) , Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (3/4 cup) , and Vegetable Oil (3/4 cup) in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and mix well.
Step 4
Whisk the Large Eggs (3) and Yogurt (3/4 cup) together.
Step 5
Add the chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Then add the egg mixture and whisk immediately until smooth.
Step 6
Pour batter into a lined baking tray or baking dish and bake for 35–40 minutes. Use a skewer to test if it comes out clean when pricking the center of the cake.
Step 7
Prepare the icing. In a small pot, melt the Salted Butter (1/3 cup) , then sieve the Powdered Confectioners Sugar (1 1/2 cups) , and Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (2 Tbsp) into the pot. Add the Yogurt (3 Tbsp) and Vanilla Essence (1 tsp) and whisk until smooth.
Step 8
Invert the cake onto a cooling rack, remove the baking paper and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Whisk up the icing until smooth and viscous again. Place rack over a tray (to capture any chocolate drippings over the sides) and spread the smooth icing onto the cooled cake.
Step 10
Decorate with Sprinkles (to taste) . And allow icing to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Slice the cake into 16 generous pieces.
