Ingredients:
| INGREDIENTS | AMOUNT |
|---|---|
| Eggs | 3 |
| Sugar | 150g (3/4 cup) |
| Vegetable Oil | 100ml (1/3 cup and 1 tbsp) |
| Plain Yogurt | 150g (2/3 cup) |
| Salt | Pinch |
| Vanilla Extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Plain Flour | 200g (1 1/4 cups) |
| Baking Powder | 1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) |
| Cocoa Powder | 1 tablespoon (10g) |
| Instant Coffee | 1 teaspoon |
| Warm Water | About 2 tablespoons |
| Chocolate Sprinkles | Some (optional) |
| Baking Pan Size | 21x11x6 cm |
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Grease and flour a baking pan measuring approximately 21x11x6 cm.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vegetable oil, plain yogurt, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift in the plain flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the Batter: Divide the batter into two equal portions. Leave one portion plain and set it aside. To the other portion, add the cocoa powder and instant coffee that have been dissolved in warm water. Mix until the cocoa powder and coffee are fully incorporated into the batter.
- Layer the Batter: Pour the plain batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Next, carefully pour the cocoa-coffee batter over the plain batter, creating a two-tone effect.
- Swirl and Decorate: Use a toothpick or knife to create swirls in the batter, gently blending the two colors together. If desired, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over the top of the batter for added decoration.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve the Cake in 5 Minutes, and enjoy the instant gratification of homemade dessert goodness!
