Description

Delicious soft and fudgey Chocolate Cake Bars. So easy to make, all in one bowl. A great baking recipe for kids!


Ingredients

  • 300g greek yogurt
  • 100g sugar
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 80g butter, melted 
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g plain flour
  • 40g cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180c and line a 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Add the greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, melted butter and vanilla to a large bowl and mix with a spoon.
  3. Add the flour, cocoa powder and bicarbonate and fold just enough so that the ingredients are all mixed.
  4. Transfer the mixture into the lined dish.
  5. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the tin for another 15 minutes. This will make it a lot easier to cut and stop it falling apart.
  7. Remove from the tin by lifting the sides of the parchment paper and placing onto a chopping board.
  8. Cut into 16 squares.

Notes

These cake bars will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

They can also be frozen. Defrost at room temperature in 2-3 hours.
