Simple And Luscious Chocolate Cake

Yesterday evening I was a victim of a ferocious chocolate craving. Normally I don't eat chocolate often but when it hits me I'm just helpless. The only thing I can do is to stay up like hypnotized and go make something chocolaty immediately. I am shamelessly weak. Luckily, this is not the only flaw I have. So I found rapidly a recipe with only few ingredients and that didn't demand the technical knowledge of a French pâtissier.  It is rather of a "whip it up, bake and indulge" kind. I added a white sour cream drizzle over it in the end:

Here is the recipe:

Simple And Luscious Chocolate Cake With Sour Cream Drizzle 

INGREDIENTS:

    For the dough:

      - 2 c sugar

      - 1 c oil

      - 2 c youghurt

      - 1 c milk

      - 3 c flour

      - 4 tbsp cocoa

      - 1 tbsp baking powder

      - 1/2 tbsp baking soda 

    For the syrup:

      - 1 c milk

      - 6 tbsp sugar

      - 1/2 c butter

      - 1/2 c chocolate chips

    For the sour cream drizzle:

      - 4 tbsp sour cream

      - 4 tsp icing sugar

      - 1 tsp vanilla

     - dash of milk

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 380 degrees. Cream 4 first ingredients well together in a bowl, add other 4 ingredients and stir well with a wooden spoon. There are no eggs in this recipe! Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the syrup. In a heavy saucepan, combine milk and sugar. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Add butter and chocolate chips and stir constantly until chocolate is melted. Pour hot syrup over a cake and let stay for 10 minutes. For the sour cream drizzle, mix all the ingredients with a spoon and serve over cake. Enjoy!
