Keep the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients ready.

Wet ingredients – Yogurt+honey, oil, milk and vanilla essence.


Now mix the powder sugar with the flour.

Mix the milk, vanilla essence and oil to the yogurt+honey mixture.

Bake in a pre-heat oven at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Now cook the mixture on medium heat until it starts boiling. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and cook stirring the mixture continuously until it starts thickening and reaches a sauce like consistency.


Turn off the heat, add butter and vanilla essence to the mixture. Stir well and let it cool completely.


Once the cake cools completely, pour the chocolate sauce over the cake.
