Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 oz dark chocolate
- 7 tbsp sunflower seed oil
- 1/2 cup yogurt (I used coffee-flavored)
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (approx. 4 tsp) baking powder
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips
- as needed powdered sugar
Steps
To prepare the yogurt and chocolate loaf cake, put the eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat them with electric beaters until the mixture is light and frothy. Chop the chocolate, melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave, then pour it into the whipped egg-and-sugar mixture and stir well.
Now add the oil and the yogurt, mix again, sift in the flour with the baking powder and work the batter with electric beaters until creamy and free of lumps. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter as well. Pour the batter into a lined loaf pan, level it, and bake in a preheated conventional oven at 356°F for about 35-40 minutes. Once baked, let it cool in its pan, then serve dusted with plenty of powdered sugar.
