Yogurt Chocolate Cake

After my first attempt on baking brownie-style cake with yogurt, I decided to twist the recipe into being more of a cake than a brownie. Therefore the dark chocolate and orange was removed, and baking powder together with a small touch of salt were added instead of.

Now the cake tastes and looks like a chocolate cake. However it is still difficult to taste any yogurt. Anyway it is a good way of using up any yogurt leftovers from your refrigerator baking a cake instead of throwing the yogurt out.
