Makes 12

3 pts each

75g cocoa powder

3 medium eggs, separated

225g golden caster sugar

1 tbsp chocolate extract

200g low fat natural yogurt

1½ tbsp vegetable oil

175g self raising flour

Preheat oven to gas 5/190ºC.  Grease a 30cm by 20cm (12" x 8") tin and lightly dust with a little cocoa powder.

Mix the egg yolks, sugar, chocolate extract, yogurt and veg oil together.  Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and gently fold in.

In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks.  Add a spoonful of the egg whites to the chocolate mixture and stir well to loosen then gently fold in the rest of the egg whites.

Pour into the tin and bake for 20-25 mins until a skewer comes out clean.  Cool in the tin for 5 mins then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
