Yes, decadent chocolate cake, just what you need righ now. It's funny because this cake is like my mom's cake and she always makes it look really pretty and perfect but this time I made it all by myself and for some strange reason it sunk in the middle but I had my ways to make it look as perfect as my mom's
- 1 3/4 c. of sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 c. of flour
- 1/2 c. of cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 1/2 c. plain yogurth
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla
- 1 c. of apricot jam
1. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs one at a time and vanilla. In another bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder, combine both mixtures alternating with yogurth. Pour it in a prepared pan and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, let cool completely. Cut it in half and spread apricot jam in the middle.

To make this decoration simply pour frosting into a pastry bag,
make small circles and press them with a spatula
