Instructions soft and moist yogurt chocolate cake

For this recipe oll the ingredients must be at room temperature.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk, using the electric mixer, butter with sugar for several minutes until it becomes clear and light. Add vanilla extract and the first egg and whisk until incorporated. Gradually add more eggs and finally the yogurt, whipping each time to make the batter light and uniform.

Bake in a preheated static oven at 160 – 170 ° C for 45 – 50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Once baked take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.
Heat the whipping cream in a small saucepan. Add chopped dark chocolate and stir to make it melt completely. Cover the cake with the prepared glaze.
The almond decorations are prepared by dipping each almond in some melted chocolate and then dipping it in the crumbs of chopped almonds.
Once you have decorated the cake you can serve it immediately with the glaze while it is still soft or wait a few hours until it becomes firm.
