Cocoa And Yoghurt Marble Cake

This is a very easy to prepare cake, moist and tender, with yoghurt and cocoa to satisfy any sweet cravings.

In a bowl , whisk together flour , baking powder and salt.

Set aside.

In another bowl , beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Add in the eggs , beating after each addition.

Mix in the yoghurt until smooth.

Whisk in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Remove about 2 / 3 to 3 / 4 cup of batter and place in a separate bowl.

Add the cocoa powder and mix until smooth.

Pour enough of the light batter to evenly coat the bottom of your greased pan.

Then add the chocolate batter and light batter in a checkerboard pattern.

Once all the batter has been added , take a knife or a toothpick and run it through the batter , swirling it around.

Bake for about 45 minutes at 180c / 350f , or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes , before placing on a cooling rack to cool completely.
