Ingredients:
Before we dive into the steps, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need for this quick and delightful cake:
- 3 Eggs
- Sugar 150g (3/4 cup)
- Vegetable Oil 100ml (1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon)
- Plain yogurt 150g (2/3 cup)
- Pinch of Salt
- Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
- Plain Flour 200g (1 1/4 cups)
- Baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons (6g)
- Cocoa powder 1 tablespoon (10g)
- Instant Coffee 1 teaspoon
- Warm Water about 2 tablespoons
- Some Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
- Baking pan size 21x11x6 cm
Now that we have all the ingredients ready, let’s move on to the step-by-step process of making this delightful cake.
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
The first step is to preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Make sure your oven is nice and hot before we start baking the cake.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, crack open the three eggs. Add the sugar and whisk them together until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.
Step 3: Add the Flavor
Next, add the vegetable oil, plain yogurt, a pinch of salt, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg and sugar mixture. Blend everything together until it’s well combined.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and instant coffee. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture while stirring continuously.
Step 5: Adjust the Consistency
If the batter seems too thick, you can add a couple of tablespoons of warm water to achieve the desired consistency. This will make your cake moist and fluffy.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
Pour the cake batter into the greased baking pan (21x11x6 cm) and smooth the top. You can also sprinkle some chocolate sprinkles on top for extra flavor and decoration.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of your cake baking will fill your kitchen!
Step 7: Let It Cool
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Slice and Enjoy!
Now that your cake has cooled down, it’s time to slice and enjoy your delicious creation. Serve it with a cup of your favorite hot beverage or a scoop of ice cream for that extra treat.
