Ingredients
For the batter
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup oil
- 1 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 orange
- Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Chocolate chips as needed
Yogurt filling
- 1 ¼ cups yogurt 300 g
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the pans. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F), fan-assisted. Line two loaf pans with parchment paper.
- Make the batter. Mix the flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, oil, sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, then fold in the cocoa powder.
- Prepare the yogurt filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla extract, oil, and sugar until smooth.
- Assemble the cakes. Divide the chocolate batter between the prepared pans. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, then spoon the yogurt filling over the surface. Add more chocolate chips or fruit if desired.
- Bake. Bake for approximately 50 minutes. Check that the cake batter is cooked through before removing the cakes.
- Rest in the oven. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and let the cakes rest inside for another 30 minutes.
- Cool and serve. Remove the cakes and allow them to cool completely before slicing so the yogurt filling has time to set.
Use a toothpick to check the chocolate cake portion, not just the yogurt filling.Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container because the filling contains eggs and yogurt.Adjust the quantity of chocolate chips or fruit to your taste.
