Katy, who works in the Breast Cancer Now Sheffield office, shares with us her simple and delicious chocolate cake recipe - it’s guaranteed to be a real crowd pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 300g 0% fat Greek yogurt
- 300g granulated sugar
- 300g plain flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 100g butter
- 50ml vegetable oil
- 200ml skimmed milk
- 30g dark cocoa powder
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 160 °C. Grease and line a loaf tin (Katy uses a 9 ½ inch by 5 ½ inch tin)
- Melt the butter by microwaving in short bursts (roughly 15 to 30 seconds at a time) and add to the oil, then whisk in the yogurt
- Add all of the dry ingredients, then the milk, and mix together
- When thoroughly mixed, put the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 1 hour (cover with foil if the top starts to burn)
- To check it’s done, insert a knife into the centre – you will know it’s done if the knife comes out clean
