Recipe type: Cake
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 150g self raising flour
  • 50g unsweetened gf cocoa powder
  • 300ml natural yoghurt (greek or greek style works well)
  • 40ml espresso coffee (if you don't have a coffee machine dissolve 2 tsp instant coffee in 40ml of hot water)
  • 125g demerara sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 100ml coconut oil (if you don't have any use sunflower or olive oil)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºc
  2. Grease and line a 20cm (8') cake tin
  3. Mix the sugar, yoghurt and vanilla in a bowl until well combined.
  4. Add the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and whisk, leave for a couple of minutes, it will bubble slightly and appear to rise.
  5. Add the espresso and the oil to the mixture and mix.
  6. Gently fold in sifted flour and cocoa powder until combined.
  7. Put the mixture into the cake tin. If you've used coconut oil it will appear thick but gently spread so that it fills the tin.
  8. Bake in the oven for approximately 50 minutes- one hour. Check after 50 minutes. Use a skewer to check if it is cooked through.
  9. Leave in the tin to cool for ten minutes before cooling on a wire rack.
  10. Once cold sieve icing sugar over the cake and eat!
