Ingredients

  • For the Cake:
  • 1/2 cup Barley Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3 tablespoons Dry Tea Leaves
  • 3 tablespoons Light/dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder (double action)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1.5 cups Fresh Natural Yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Chips
  • For the Frosting:
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Natural Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Organic Cherry Preserve
  • 1 tablespoon Organic Honey

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 170 C Grind the tea leaves before you start the process
  • In a large bowl, mix in the dry ingredients - both the flours, ground tea leaves, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk up the oil and yogurt till they come together.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well. The mixture should be consistent by about 30 seconds to a minute. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Grease and line a loose-bottom tin, and pour the batter into it.
  • Bake for about 28-35 minutes, till a skewer comes out clean.
  • For the frosting, combine all the frosting ingredients either by hand or with a whisk, till you get an even mixture.
  • Let the cake cool down completely, before you pour the frosting over
