THE BLACK DEATH
List of Ingredients
1 pound butter, softened
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
3 and 1/2 cups flour
1 cup cocoa
1 cup plain yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Generously grease a bundt or tube pan with solid shortening and dust with cocoa.
Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Add two cups of the flour and beat well. Mix in the yogurt and extract. Combine the baking powder with the remaining flour and cocoa and add them to the batter. Beat well.
Pour the batter into the pan. Bake about 1 hour until the cake pulls slightly away from the sides of the pan, and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove from oven and turn upside down over a plate to cool. Leave the pan on top of the cake for about 20 minutes so the cake will hold it's shape.
You may glaze, if you wish, but it is best served in small slices with a dollop of pure whipped cream.
