Chocolate Yoghurt Poundcake

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350'F.  Generously butter a 10-inch bundt pan.  Dust the
inside with sifted cocoa.  This will prevent the cake from sticking to the
pan, and give it a lovely dark smooth finish.
Cream the butter and sugar.  Beat in the eggs.  Add two cups of flour and
beat well.  Mix in the yoghurt and extract.  Combine the baking powder, the
remaining flour, and the cocoa, and add them to the batter. Beat well.
Pour the batter into the Bundt pan.  Bake about 1 hour, until the cake
pulls slightly away from the sides of the pan, and a knife inserted into
the middle of the pan comes out clean.
Remove from oven, and turn upside down over a plate to cool.  Leave the
bundt pan on top of the cake for about 20 minutes, so the cake will hold
it's shape.
If you wish, brush melted sweet chocolate over the cooled cake.  Or, do as
I prefer: serve it with pure whipped cream. And cut those slices small -
they're pretty deadly!  It's the only cake I know of that you serve with
the cream to *lighten it up*, not to make it richer!

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
