Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate I used half of a 100g 90% cacao bar
  • 1 cup plain yogurt Bittman uses whole milk yogurt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup wheat semolina (choose the finest ground you can find)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Prepare an 8 or 9 inch square baking dish with baking spray or butter.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over low heat. Add the chocolate and cocoa powder and stir until well mixed and smooth. Set aside.
  • Beat together the sugar and yogurt, then add the semolina, baking soda, vanilla and the chocolate mixture. Mix well.
  • Transfer the batter to the baking dish and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. It's done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cut into 9 pieces and serve warm.
