"I made this cake for my daughters 3rd birthday party, the first chocolate cake I'd ever made. I have a history of mishaps with baking, I first made the cake with plain flour (I put that one in the party bags). However, I pulled myself together and made another with self raising flour and OMG it was gorgeous!! I don't have a rectangle cake tin so did it in a round deep cake tin but it turned out briliantly, although it did need 45mins in the oven. The yogurt really does make it nice and moist. I also used white flour instead of wholemeal. Instead of the recipies icing suggestion, I melted together 1/2 a big bar of dairy milk with the same weight of butter and added 3 times the amount of icing sugar. I then decorated the cake with smarties and white chocolate buttons - lovely!. I can't wait to make this cake again!!"
