Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- 1pinch de Salt
- Whole plain yogurt
- Instant coffee powder
- Water
- Cocoa powder
- Butter
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Melted chocolate
- Heavy cream
- Coffee (for brushing)
Instructions
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk the dry ingredients.
In a second bowl, mix the whole plain yogurt, instant coffee powder, water, and cocoa powder, ensuring the ingredients combine well.
Dica: The acidity of the yogurt will react with the baking soda, aiding in the cake's texture and color.
In a third bowl, beat the butter until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency.
Add the sugar to the beaten butter, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue beating.
Fold in the liquid yogurt and coffee mixture, and then gently add the flour and baking soda mixture to the batter, mixing until just combined.
Grease and line the bottom of three cake pans with parchment paper to make removal easier.
Dica: Using parchment paper on the bottom of the pans guarantees easier release.
Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared pans and place them in the oven to bake.
Prepare the frosting by mixing the melted chocolate with the heavy cream, stirring until a shiny ganache forms.
After the cake layers are baked, brush cooled coffee over the layers, then spread the filling between them.
Cover the cake with the remaining ganache and decorate as desired to finish.
Dica: Decorate with whatever you prefer.
