Serves: 2 load cakes
Ingredients
  • 4 Eggs (200g)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar (400g)
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract (5 mL)
  • 1 each vanilla bean (optional) seeds only
  • 1 cup canola oil (237 mL)
  • 2 cups plain yogurt (474 mL)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (260g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (8g)
  • pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup of cocoa powder (21g)
Instructions
  1. Prepare the cake pans by coating liberally with professional bakery pan grease. I am going to split the batter between two 8-1/2 inch long x 4-1/2-inch wide x 2-1/2 inch high bread pans.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF/177ºC
  3. Measure out the ingredients.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Mix well. (use a wire whisk or a hand mixer as desired.)
  5. Add the vanilla extract and optional vanilla bean seeds, mix well.
  6. Add the canola oil, mix.
  7. Add Yogurt, mix.
  8. Add the dry ingredients and mix enough to incorporate.
  9. Separate batter into 2 bowls. To the one bowl, add the cocoa powder and mix well.
  10. Split the cake batter between two prepared pans. Start with a small layer of vanilla cake batter then chocolate then vanilla then chocolate until all batter has been used up. You want at least 4 layers (2 vanilla and 2 chocolate) in each pan.
  11. Bake in a preheated 350ºF/177ºC oven for 40-50 minutes or until it is done.
  12. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing from pan to cooling rack to cool completely.
  13. Ice as desired.
