A fudgy rich chocolate cake, not quite a mud cake. The secret to the moistness is the yoghurt and oil. This makes a lovely big cake, perfect for birthdays and gatherings. This cake is made in my home when I have yoghurt that's just about to go out of date or just over it's "best before" date. Perfect for cooking with!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold coffee
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (such as canola)
  • 1 cup vanilla or plain yoghurt

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

How To Make betty's moist chocolate yoghurt cake

  • Step 1
    Pre-heat the oven to 320 degrees F/160 degrees C and grease a large bunt tin well. (A large cake tin can be used too, but line it well and increase the baking time by 15 minutes.)
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, beat all the wet ingredients until well mixed, about 2 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Add all the dry ingredients and beat until JUST combined. Stop half way through and scrape down the sides.
  • Step 4
    Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes (65 if using a square or round tin with a 9-inch diameter). Bake until cooked when tested with a toothpick. Cool in the tin on a wire rack for a full 10 minutes. Turn out of the tin and cool on a wire rack until no longer warm. Frost, if desired.
