Curiosity

This cake is a perfect example of how the Italian tradition of using yogurt in desserts can enrich the texture, making it moister and softer. The dark chocolate, with its distinct taste, balances the sweetness of the yogurt and sugar, creating a delicious combination that is not overly cloying.

Happy baking and enjoy your meal!
