Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1/4 cup cocoa powder; 1/4 cup ground almonds; 1 tablespoon dry-toasted and ground fennel seeds; 1 pinch salt; 3 eggs; 1/2 cup vegetable oil (eg, sunflower, canola); 1/2 cup yogurt, well-stirred and lumps removed; 1 cup caster sugar; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; Cream Cheese

Servings: persons

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup ground almonds
1 tablespoon dry-toasted and ground fennel seeds
1 pinch salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil (eg, sunflower, canola)
1/2 cup yogurt, well-stirred and lumps removed
1 cup caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cream Cheese

1
Pre-heat oven to 180 deg C and grease 4-5 small ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking tray (or cake tins). Fill the tray/tins with boiling water till the water level is about 1/4-inch high.
2
In a medium bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, almonds, fennel, baking powder and salt. Mix them well with a fork.
3
In a bigger bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, yogurt and vanilla till the sugar dissolves.
4
Add the flour mix into the egg mixture (dry into wet) and fold in till just combined. Do not overwork the batter.
5
Fill the ramekins about 2/3rds of the way (the batter will rise) and bake for 35-45 minutes or till toothpicks inserted into the centers come out very slightly greasy (not coated in wet batter). I usually start checking after the cakes have baked for 30 minutes.
6
Cool the cakes in the ramekins for 15 minutes before placing them on a cooling rack.
7
Top each mini-cake with large knobs, or classier quenelles, of cream cheese.
