What you need 

Chocolate Cake

• Egg (Large) - 1
• Granulated Sugar - 1 Cup
•  Plain, vanilla, or chocolate yogurt (thicker Greek-style preferred. Would not recommend diet, fat-free or light yogurt; sour cream is a good substitute)- 6 ounces 
• Canola or vegetable oil-1/4 cup 
•  Vanilla extract- 1 1/2 teaspoons 
•  Brewed coffee ( Must be room temperature or warm)- 1/2 cup
•  Unsweetened natural cocoa powder- 1/2 cup
• All-purpose flour- 1 cup 
•  Baking soda- 1 teaspoon
•  Baking powder- 1/2 teaspoon
•  Salt (optional) - 1/2 teaspoon 

• Semi-sweet chocolate (about 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips)- 9 ounces
•  Heavy cream or half-and-half- 3/4 cup
•   Vanilla extract- 1 teaspoon

Method -Cake

• Oven must be preheated at 350° F.  Grease and flour a 9-by-9 inch square baking pan or line it with aluminium foil and cooking spray. 
• Mix the egg, sugar, yogurt, oil, vanilla in a large mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and combined. 
• Next add coffee and cocoa powder. Whisk continuously and vigorously to make sure the batter is well combined and has a smooth texture. 
• Mix in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and keep whisking for about a minute, until the batter has come together.
• Transfer the loose and moderately runny batter into the prepped pan. Bake for 25 minutes until the top looks set and a toothpick when inserted into the center comes out clean. 
• Make sure the cake cools down completely before icing it with the ganache or slicing and serving it. 

Chocolate Ganache

• Heat the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute on high power in order to soften the chocolate and set it aside.

• Heat the cream in a smaller microwave-safe bowl just until it begins to show bubbles or signs of boiling. An approximate time would be 60-75 seconds on high power.

• Pour the hot cream on top of the chocolate and let it rest for a minute. Whisk away in order to make sure the chocolate melts completely until texture is smooth and velvety. 

• Mix in vanilla (or any optional flavour of liking) and stir until combined. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes so that the ganache can become cool and thick. 

• Before pouring the mixture all over the cake, whisk it briefly to get a smooth consistency. Spread the ganache in a light and smooth manner with a spatula or offset knife.

• Let the ganache settle on the cake at room temperature for atleast 30 mins or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process. Slice and Enjoy after!
