Ingredients: 1 measure = 200 ml measured in a graduated cup 1/2 or even just 1/3 measure of sugar 1 measure of yogurt 1/2 measure of water (mineral water or apple juice can also be used) 1 level tablespoon of baking powder 2 measures of flour 3 tablespoons of grated coconut (dehydrated) (can be replaced with grated or finely chopped nuts) 3 tablespoons of jam (I used blueberry, preferably a more sour one or one that goes well with cocoa) 1 large apple or 2 medium-sized ones 3 heaping tablespoons of bitter cocoa* oil or butter/margarine for the pan and flour or breadcrumbs to line it

To prepare a delicious cocoa and apple cake, it is important to follow a few essential steps that will ensure a special taste and a perfect texture. We start by making sure we have all the necessary ingredients at hand. The cocoa used should be unsweetened, and if you only have sweetened cocoa available, you will need to reduce the amount of sugar by one tablespoon. This detail is crucial to achieve a balance between sweetness and the specific bitterness of cocoa.

Carefully prepare the baking tray. Grease it with butter or margarine, then sprinkle a bit of breadcrumbs to prevent the cake from sticking. An effective alternative is to use baking paper, which you dampen a little under running water, then squeeze it into a fist and wring it out so that it becomes soft but not wet. This will spread perfectly in any shape or model of the tray.

An interesting aspect of the recipe is that by using soy yogurt, the cake becomes a vegan choice, ideal for fasting days. Apples are the key ingredient; make sure to wash them well, peel them, and remove the core, then cut them into small cubes, the size of raisins. If you prefer a finer texture and do not want to feel the pieces of apple in the cake, you can grate the apple, adding it along with its juice, unstrained. For those who are not fans of apples, an excellent option is raisins, which add natural sweetness.

Carefully mix all the ingredients, making sure that the sugar dissolves well in water or yogurt at the beginning. It is recommended to sift the cocoa and flour to avoid lumps, especially in the case of cocoa. Once all the ingredients are evenly combined, pour the mixture into the 20x30 cm tray, which has already been greased and lined or just lined with baking paper.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the tray inside. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes. Check the consistency of the cake by doing the toothpick test; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Once cooled, you can cut it into portions. This cake is not just a delicacy, but also a way to enjoy rich flavors and varied textures, being ideal for both an everyday dessert and special occasions. Enjoy it alongside a cup of tea or coffee, and let yourself be carried away by its flavors!
