- 450 grams PLAIN yogurt
- 340 grams bittersweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams butter at room temperature, unsalted
- 300 grams sugar
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 10 grams baking soda
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 45 milliliters water boiling
- 6 egg
- salt a pinch
For the Frosting
- 240 ml whipping cream 35%
- 30 ml honey 2 tablespoons or alternative
- 560 grams bittersweet chocolate chips
- 30 grams powdered sugar 2 tablespoons or alternative
- 200 grams butter cold
- salt a pinch
Instructions
For the Cake
- Preheat your oven at 350F
- Prepare your bowls: You will need four bowls—one for dry ingredients, one for melting chocolate in a double boiler, and one for mixing eggs, and a small one for mixing cocoa powder and water.
- Mix dry ingredients: In the first bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Beat the eggs: In the second bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with the sugar until frothy.
- Melt the chocolate: In the third bowl, add the dark chocolate, yogurt, and butter. Melt this mixture over a double boiler until smooth.
- In a small bowl or mug. Dissolve the cocoa powder in the boiling water and add it to the chocolate mixture.
- Combine everything: Gradually mix the beaten eggs with the dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate mixture. Important Tip: Don’t overmix the batter, as this can affect the cake's texture.
- Bake: Pour the batter into two greased baking pans. Important Tip: Once the batter is done, it needs to go straight into the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) without sitting around. Bake for about 35 minutes. After this time, test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
For the Frosting:
- Melt the chocolate: In a food processor, combine the chocolate chips, and hot whipping cream. Blend until you have a smooth mixture; the cream will melt the chocolate.
- Add the salt, honey, and powdered sugar, blending until creamy. Finally, slowly incorporate the cold butter until fully combined.
- Important Tip: Let the ganache cool down. It will firm up as it cools, making it easier to spread on the cake.
To Decorate
- Cool and frost: Once the cakes have cooled, remove them from the pans. Divide the frosting in three equal parts 1. Spread the first part on top of one of the cakes to create a filling. Place the second cake on top.2.Use the second third of the frosting to apply a thin layer all around the cakes.3.Finally, add the remaining third of the frosting to a piping bag and decorate as desired.
Notes
- Pro Tip: If you have followed the recipe, but, your ganache frosting isn't firm enough it probably is still too warm. Let it cool down for a couple of hours and try again later.
