All you need is chocolate, and some other stuff!

This cake is one of my new favourites because its easy, quick and very versatile.

you can adjust the recipe to whatever ingredients / version you have. It comes out so light and fluffy. the perfect “tea” cake 🙂

So here you go:

1 1/2 cups full-fat yogurt (or any yogurt you have at home, really)
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 plenty tsp Chia (optional)
Pinch ground nutmeg
Pinch ground cinamon

Pre-Heat the oven to 180 C. Grease a Cake pan lightly with baking spray or oil, and line the bottom with baking paper. This cake recipe is for a big cake, so maybe a 9 inches or bigger.

Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. you can do it manually. Add chia, stir. Add baking powder, soda, salt, and nutmeg and cinamon right into the liquids and stir. Add the flour in batches and stir just until no lumps remain.

Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, covering with foil at the end if the top is browning. When a tester comes out clean, transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.

Cake will keep well for several days if well wrapped.

First time I made, I was trying to make a 2 coloured cake, so I made 2 batches. one of them I added some cocoa powder, the other one I put one Apple cinamon chobani yogurt (as part of the yogurt ingredient), it was delicious as well.
