Ingredients
Method
1) Arrange rack in centre of oven and preheat oven to 180 degrees C/Gas 4. Spray a 20 by 30-cm cake tin with cooking spray and set aside.
2) Whisk together flours, cocoa, salt, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder in a medium bowl, then sift ingredients through a fine mesh sieve.
3) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and oil. Add eggs and egg whites and whisk to incorporate. Fold in yogurt, vanilla, sugar and dissolved espresso powder. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 90 seconds or over a double boiler. Fold chocolate into batter.
4) Gradually add sifted dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated; do not overbeat. Pour batter into prepared tin. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until cake has risen nicely and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool completely.
5) Combine all frosting ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until soft and creamy. Spread frosting evenly over cake and cut into squares. Finely grate one small square of chocolate. Sprinkle the chocolate shavings over the cake.
