An age ago, I made a delicious Chocolate Yoghurt Bundt Cake from p188 of the 100th (and last) edition of Donna Hay Magazine (sold out online but I have seen copies of it in the shops still). This handsome looking cake is super easy to make as well as delicious. The chocolate flavour comes exclusively from cocoa, so it is also relatively inexpensive.
If you would like to make this cake (and to be honest, why not?), you will need:
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk (or just sour the equivalent amount of milk with a little lemon juice)
1 cup natural Greek-style yoghurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 cups self-raising flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder, sifted
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and grease a 3 litre capacity bundt tin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, buttermilk, yoghurt, vanilla and sugar. Fold the flour and cocoa through the mixture until it is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt tin and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool.
To ice the cake, put 1 1/4 cups icing sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa and 2 1/2 tablespoons boiling water together in a bowl and mix until smooth. Pour the icing over the cooled cake and allow it to set before slicing and serving the cake.
Enjoy!

I haven't read a food magazine in ages so I had no idea that Donna Hay magazine was closing down!
Hi again,
I just did a search of your blog for chocolate cake recipes......and there were so many I stopped! Like you, I have also tried an abundance of chocolate cakes and have so many favourites.
Given your expertise in chocolate cake, how does this one rate in your all-time favourites? By the way, what are your favourites?
Not sure whether to try another chocolate cake or not.
Your help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Regards,
Angela

Hi Angela, see comments below.
The magazine doesn’t mention it - I found out when I was searching for the magazine on the Internet.
I'd love to make that cake - donna hay is quite reliable but I have been trying to not bake such things unless I have an occasion - though I do love any excuse! It looks lovely
Thanks for sharing your favourite chocolate cakes. I think I will make the Mud cake....with all that whisky it can't be anything but wonderful!
I don't need an occasion it make chocolate cake....every day is reason enough.
Thanks again,
Angela
