Chocolate Yogurt Loaf Recipes

CHOCOLATE YOGURT LOAF

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly grease a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan.
• 2. In one bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, and vanilla, then set aside. Cream the butter with the sugar for about 3 minutes or until light. Add the eggs one at a time beating well between each. Add the grated chocolate and stir, then half the flour and half the yogurt mixture and mix.
• 3. Add the remaining yogurt and flour mixtures and mix just until combined. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• 4. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes then gently remove from the pan. Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing. If desired, the loaf can now be sprinkled with powdered sugar, or spread with the glaze of your choice.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb/900g loaf tin with a long strip of baking parchment. To make the loaf cake batter, beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, flour, almonds, baking powder, milk and cocoa until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips, then scrape into the tin. Bake for 45-50 mins until golden, risen and a skewer poked in the centre comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin, then lift out onto a wire rack over some kitchen paper. Melt the extra chocolate chunks separately in pans over barely simmering water, or in bowls in the microwave, then use a spoon to drizzle each in turn over the cake. Leave to set before slicing.
