Method

First, prep the base of the cake. Cut up all your chocolate, then sprinkle the brown sugar over the base of your tin (use a medium-large tin here & it doesn’t matter what shape), then evenly spread your chopped chocolate over the top.
Pour over your boiling water, allowing the chocolate to melt, then set aside.
Heat your oven to 180°C, then to a large mixing bowl, add your flours, baking powder & bicarbonate of soda with a big pinch of flaky sea salt.
To a small bowl, add your cocoa powder and a large splash of boiling water, mixing so you have a runny paste.
Crack your eggs into a separate mixing bowl, along with your sugar, whisking until light in colour, and airy. Pour in your cocoa powder mixture, then add the yoghurt and oil, whisking until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry gradually, mixing well with a spatula to combine.
Once you have a smooth cake batter, pour it over your chocolate & sugar base, evenly spreading (but be careful not to disrupt the mixture underneath too much, as this will act as a sauce when cooked). You only want the cake batter to fill the tin by 3/4 max, so if it starts to fill the tin more than this, reserve the remaining cake batter.
Cover the cake with tin foil, then place this tin in a larger tin, pouring water into the larger tin until about 1/3 of the way up of the smaller tin.
Bake the cake in the water bath for 30-35 minutes, then remove from the oven and remove from the water bath to cool slightly.
Prep your custard to serve, or serve with yoghurt & fruit.
