Yogurt cake (Owen Jones)
Ingredients:
- 1 yogurt (you will use the empty yogurt pot to measure out the other ingredients)
- 1 potful of oil
- 2 potfuls of sugar
- 2 large eggs / 3 small eggs
- 3 potfuls of self-raising flour
- a bar of chocolate, cut up into chunks
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
- Mix everything except the flour and the chocolate in a big bowl (it should look like vomit)
- Add the flour slowly, stirring it in as you do (it should begin to look like more solid vomit)
- Add the chocolate chunks to the mixture
- Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper
- Pour the mixture in and put on the middle shelf for at least an hour
- When a skewer / knife comes out clean (apart from melted chocolate) the cake is ready
The flavour of the yogurt should affect the flavour of the cake, though this is often hard to discern.
