Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Grease a cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix together sugar, yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the sugar is well incorporated.
Step 4: Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Make sure there are no lumps but be careful not to overmix.
Step 5: Add Milk
Slowly add milk to the batter while mixing. The consistency should be smooth and pourable.
Step 6: Prepare for Cooking
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 7: Cook the Cake
Place the pan on a non-stick pan or a heavy-bottomed vessel filled with some water. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cooling
Once cooked, remove the cake from the heat and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9: Serve
Once cooled, you can frost the cake or serve it plain. Slice and enjoy your eggless chocolate cake!
