Ingredients for Cake -

1 cup condensed milk

½ cup olive oil

¼ cup melted chocolate

¼ cup plain yoghurt (optional – or use milk + a few drops of vinegar)

1½ cups all-purpose flour

4 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tsp coffee, melted in 1 tbsp warm water

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 small pinch salt


Process for cake –

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a stand mixer, whip condensed milk, olive oil, melted chocolate, and yoghurt until smooth and creamy.


Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and coffee mixture. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free.


Step 3: Bake the Cake

Grease a baking pan and pour the batter in. Bake at 180°C in a normal oven or 160°C in a fan-forced oven for 35–45 minutes.

Check at 35 minutes — if it needs more time, bake for another 10 minutes.


Ingredients for Icing -

2 tbsp salted butter

1 tsp cornflour

1 cup cream

4 tbsp cocoa powder

¼ cup chopped chocolate

4 tbsp sugar


Process  for icing–


Step 1: Heat butter in a pan and add cornflour. Cook on low heat for 1–2 minutes until it slightly changes colour.

Step 2: Add cream and bring to a gentle boil.

Step 3: Stir in cocoa powder, chopped chocolate, and sugar. Mix well on low heat until smooth.

Step 4: Turn off the stove and let it cool. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 6–8 hours.

Step 5: Once chilled, whip it to the desired consistency. (Add 1–2 tsp rum for extra flavour if you like.)


Spread generously over your cooled cake — it’s rich, velvety, and delicious.
