directions

  • Sift the flour with the salt, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa.
  • In a large bowl, cream the sugar into the butter.
  • Add the eggs to the sugar / butter.
  • Alternately add the flour mixture, yoghurt and boiling water to the sugar / butter.
  • Add the mixture to two 9" circular pans and bake in the oven at 350F for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out dry.
  • Cool the cakes while you make the ganache (overnight works best).
  • For the ganache, mix the sugar into the cream and heat in a saucepan at medium.
  • Bring it to a light boil, and then pour over the baking chocolate squares in a medium bowl.
  • Mix until the chocolate is all melted, and the mixture is not lumpy.
  • Then place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes, until it has thickened.
  • Pour a little ganache over one of the baked cakes, and then place the second cake on top of the first one.
  • Pour the rest of the ganache over the two cakes, and then leave to cool.
