Ingredients

Wet ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 80 mL vegetable oil
  • 225 g sugar
  • 125 mL water (fervent)
  • 80 mL yogurt (unsweetened)

Dry ingredients

  • 200 g flour
  • 45 g cocoa powder (100% cacao)
  • 10 g baking powder (chemical leavening)
  • 0.5 g salt (refined)

Chocolate layer

  • 150 g bittersweet chocolate

Calda (syrup)

  • 125 mL water (for syrup)
  • 100 g sugar (for syrup)
  • 15 g cocoa powder (for syrup)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a loaf pan with foil.
  • Mix 125 mL water and 45 g cocoa powder until dissolved. Add optional coffee and set aside.
  • In a blender, blend eggs, yogurt, oil, and sugar for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  • Add cocoa mixture to blender and blend for 1-2 minutes.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine with blender mixture until homogeneous.
  • Pour half of batter into pan. Spread chocolate pieces over, then cover with remaining batter.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes. Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  • Meanwhile, prepare syrup by boiling water, sugar, and cocoa for 10-15 minutes until viscous.
  • Remove cake, poke holes, and pour syrup over to soak. Let cool.

Ensure not to overbake to keep the cake moist. The syrup adds extra richness.
