One bowl, no mixer, and it stays moist for days. The olive oil is in the background, not the foreground.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 175°C and line a 23 cm tin.
  2. Whisk the dry ingredients together. Add the oil, eggs and yoghurt and stir until smooth.
  3. Pour in the hot coffee and whisk. The batter will be thin; that is correct.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes, until the top springs back. Cool in the tin.
Note. Coffee makes chocolate taste more like chocolate. The cake will not taste of coffee.
