Ingredients
  

all-purpose flour
unsweetened cocoa powder
baking powder
baking soda
salt
granulated sugar
plain yogurt
vegetable oil
milk
vanilla extract
hot water
dark chocolate, chopped
heavy cream
unsalted butter

Notes

Bring yogurt and milk to room temperature. Do not overmix after the flour goes in. The thin batter after the hot water is normal — do not add flour. Cool layers fully before frosting. Store frosted cake up to 3 days at room temperature, 1 week in the fridge, or freeze unfrosted layers up to 3 months.
