EXECUTION

In a saucepan melt the butter, cocoa, salt and coffee. Stir and when the mixture becomes homogenized, turn of the heat and let it come to room temperature. In a bowl mix the flour, sugar and baking soda. Add the butter mixture in two doses, mixing just until combined. Add the eggs, one by one, mixing well after each addition. Add the yoghurt and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Add the chocolate chips and mix gently, until incorporated. Grease a pan (22cm diameter) and sprinkle with cocoa. Pour the batter in the pan. Bake the cake in a preheated oven, at 180oC, for 45-50 minutes. Let it cool for 15 minutes and remove from the pan. Let the cake come to room temperature, for about 2-3 hours and prepare the frosting. Melt 150 gr. dark chocolate in a bain-marie and pour it in the yoghurt, with the vanilla extract. Mix well until you have a smooth and thick chocolate mixture. Spread the frosting evenly on the cake.
Garnish with grated chocolate.
Serve the cake at room temperature.
