Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup yogurt OR 1 cup milk+1 tbsp vinegar

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/4 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder

pinch of salt

3/4 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsps baking pwd

1 Preheat oven to 180 C. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.
2 Sieve maida, baking pwd, baking soda, salt and cocoa pwd, thrice. Keep aside. In a bowl, beat the eggs and keep aside.
3 Cream the sugar and butter till smooth. Add the beaten eggs till creamy.
4 Slowly add little maida-cocoa mixture, alternating with a tbsp of yogurt and whisk till it blends completely. Follow this procedure till the dry ingredients are completely blended with the wet ingredients. Add vanilla essence and combine well.
5 Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 mts or till a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Prepare the icing. Sieve 1 cup icing sugar with 2 tsps cocoa pwd, slowly add little hot water till it forms a flowing consistency. Place cake on a plate and pour the icing all over the cake. I sprinkled some edible silver balls all over. You can also sprinkle coarsely chopped nuts/dry fruits or sprinkles.

    Sailugaru,
    Thanks for the Chocolate cake recipe, it tasted great. I added a little more Cocoa to make the color come out like yours in the picture. I grated milk choclate over the cake. This one is a keeper.

    Lovely cake Sailu, looks so soft and chocolatey, with the icing drizzling down..I make a similar choc-yogurt cake. You can try Microwaving too which will get you the cake ready in 7-8 minutes..super quick for that chocolatey temptation!!
