Bicarbonate of soda 7 g
Flour 60 g
Cocoa powder 50 g

Olive oil or vegetable oil 125 g
Sugar 100 g
Vanilla essence 2,5 g

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C.
  2. Mix the yoghurt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Set aside for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture bubbles and rises.
  3. Grease a baking sheet with butter or vegetable oil. Alternatively, line the baking sheet with baking paper.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa and icing sugar.
  5. Add olive oil to the yoghurt mixture and slowly sift the flour, cocoa and sugar into the mixture.
  6. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes on the convection setting. To test if the cake is ready, insert a skewer into the centre of the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Allow the cake to cool before removing it from the cake pan.

Chocolate cake is always awesome, that is, if you are a chocolate lover. However, if you have many dietary restrictions like I do, having a regular chocolate cake is not always viable; hence the eggless chocolate cake was made.
