Two-Tone Raisin Cake


Ingredients


3 eggs

1 cup sugar

½ cup vegetable oil

1 cup yogurt

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon citric acid

1 teaspoon baking soda (level)

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

A handful of raisins

Butter for greasing the baking pan


Instructions


1. Beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in colour.

2. Add the vegetable oil and beat again.

3. Stir in the yoghurt until well combined.

4. Sift the flour together with the citric acid and baking soda, then gradually add it to the mixture. Mix until a smooth batter forms.

5. Separate slightly less than half of the batter and mix it with the cocoa powder.

6. Add the raisins to the plain batter and stir gently.

7. Grease a baking pan with butter. Pour in the plain batter first, then add the cocoa batter on top.

8. Bake in a preheated oven at 180–200°C (356–392°F) for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.


Enjoy!
