The peculiarity of the yogurt and chocolate Nua cake is its incredible fluffiness and moisture, given precisely by the combination of yogurt and hazelnut cream, creating a “creamy” effect that makes it unique in its genre.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk (Warm)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- as needed hazelnut cream
Steps
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the sugar with the eggs using a whisk until you obtain a light and fluffy mixture. Then, add the vegetable oil and the warm milk gradually, continuing to mix.
Incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture, mixing with a spatula until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
Prepare a 20-22 cm (8-9 inch) cake pan (buttered and floured or lined with parchment paper) and pour in the batter.Randomly distribute the spoonfuls of yogurt and dollops of hazelnut cream on the batter. Using the tip of a fork, create a spiral or “marbled” effect to allow the ingredients to penetrate the batter.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 40-45 minutes. I recommend doing the toothpick test to ensure the cake is ready: if it comes out clean, the cake is perfectly cooked.
Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the mold. If you like, you can dust it with a bit of powdered sugar before serving.
