Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 1 8 inch cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (175 gms) dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (113gms) unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp cocoa
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¾ cup yogurt (I have also used half yogurt half cream and it worked beautifully)
  • ¼ cup milk
  • pinch salt
  • 1¼ (155 gms) cup all purpose flour ( I have used ¾ cup all purpose and ½ cup whole wheat successfully as well, I just add a tbsp of milk extra to the mix since whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup roasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven 180 C or 350 F.
  2. Line a 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. You could also use an 8 inch round baking pan.
  3. In a heat proof bowl add the butter and dark chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate and butter over a double broiler or carefully in the microwave. Whisk in the vanilla and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  4. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt into another bowl.
  5. Whisk the yogurt, milk and sugar in a medium sized bowl.
  6. Add the melted chocolate mix to the yogurt mix.
  7. Gradually fold in the flour mix.
  8. Fold in the nuts.
  9. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 30-40 min, until the tester just comes out clean. A few crumbs are ok. You do not want to over bake it. Let cool. Note: For brownies I let the tester not come out completely clean, so check at the 30 min mark. It should be baked around the edges but the centre needs to still be a little wet. Remove from oven and put the pan over some ice to stop the baking process. The baked cake should be refrigerated for at least a few hours, or overnight, or frozen for an hour or two, before you serve it.
  11. You can frost the cake, or eat it as is, or with some ice cream on the side.
