Ingredient Spotlight

Key Ingredients:

• • Yogurt: Adds moisture and a slight tang to the cake, ensuring it stays soft and tender.

• • Instant Coffee: Provides a rich coffee flavor that complements the sweetness of the cake.
  • Eggs and Sugar: Create a light and fluffy batter, providing structure and sweetness.
  • Oil and Milk: Keep the cake moist and tender.

• • Soft Wheat Flour (Type 00): A fine, soft flour that ensures a delicate crumb.
  • Baking Powder: Helps the cake rise and become fluffy.
  • Dark Chocolate and Cream: Combine to make a luscious chocolate glaze that adds a rich finish to the cake.

Cooking Tips

1. 1. Mixing the Coffee: Ensure the instant coffee is fully dissolved in the yogurt for an even coffee flavor throughout the cake.
   2. Sifting Flour: Sift the flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
   3. Baking: Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

1. Cooling and Soaking: Allow the cake to cool completely before pouring the coffee mixture over it to prevent sogginess.
2. Making the Glaze: Heat the cream gently to avoid boiling, which can cause the chocolate to seize.
