Serves up to 12.....
Preheat oven to fan assisted 160-180c/gas 4
What you need.......
1 pot natural yoghurt...i use a 290gram pot of activia, works well 2 pots of granulated or caster sugar
2 pots of self raising flour
1 pot of coca powder
3/4 pot of sunflower or vegetable oil
a pinch of baking powder
3 large free range eggs
the juice of 1 large orange
The frosting...
300gram of icing sugar
100 gram of cocoa powder
orange juice and the zest of 1 large orange
150 gram of butter, softened
What you do.....
Put the yoghurt into a baking bowl and use the empty pot to measure all the ingredients......
Mix everything together really really well, its best to use an electric whisk unless like me you are trying to banish those bingo wings...use a hand whisk!!
If the mix feels too thick add a little more orange juice until you have a good cake mix consistency....drops off the back off the spoon but not too runny.
Pour into your silicone cake "tin" or a greased and lined springform tin and bake in the centre of the preheated oven for about 40 minutes until the knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.
Leave to cool in the silicone until just warm before removing and placing onto a wire cooling rack.
To make the icing, put the icing sugar, coca powder, butter and the orange zest into a bowl.
Add orange juice whilst mixing until you get a thick frosting consistency.....a tiny bit at a time!! If you add too much, just add more icing sugar, no worries!
When the cake is totally cool spread the frosting all over the top and decorate with grated orange zest!
Enjoy! Its intense!! xx
