minutesIngredients
3 eggs
2 yogurt‑cup measures of brown sugar (using the yogurt as a measuring cup)
½ yogurt‑cup of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 natural (plain) yogurts
3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder
3 yogurt‑cup measures of gluten‑free flour
1 packet of baking powder
Directions
- In a bowl, mix the ingredients in the order listed.
- Once everything is combined, pour the batter into the bread maker pan.
Set the bread maker to the “bake” program. (On the Lidl model, that’s program number 15, with low browning.) - About 15 minutes before the baking cycle ends, turn off the machine, leaving it closed but without opening.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes, slightly lifting the lid to prevent a sudden temperature drop that could deflate the cake.
- After the resting period, remove the baking pan carefully and allow the cake to cool before unmolding.
Notes
- Texture: The cake comes out moist and very fluffy.
Tip: Avoid overbaking—it can dry out the cake - Substitution Options (If No Bread Maker Available)
You can also bake this cake in a GM-style multicooker:
Use the “dessert” setting, set temperature to 130 °C, cook for 45 minutes, then let it rest for 10 minutes before removing
Whether you’re serving this at a family gathering or enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of coffee, this cake proves that gluten‑free doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor. With its tender crumb and rich chocolate notes, it’s a testament to how thoughtful ingredients and technique combine to create something truly memorable—every single time.
