Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter and line the bases of 2 x 18cm sandwich tins with baking paper. Whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 mins with a tabletop mixer or 10 mins using an electric hand whisk. The mixture will have increased greatly in volume and be thick enough to leave a trail on the surface when the whisk blades are lifted.
- Sift the flour, cornflour, cocoa and baking powder over the surface and fold in gently using a large metal spoon. Divide between the tins, gently spreading the mixture to the edges, then bake for 15-20 mins until the cakes are well risen, have begun to shrink away from the sides of the tins and spring back when gently pressed. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins, then turn out onto a rack.
- To decorate, microwave the chocolate and coffee together on Medium for 20-30 secs until the chocolate has melted. Gently stir until smooth, then cool slightly. Beat the soft cheese with the yogurt and icing sugar until smooth, then spoon half the mixture into a small bowl stir in the melted chocolate and set aside. Place one cake on a serving plate and spread with the yogurt mixture. Cover with the other cake, then spread the chocolate yogurt mixture over the top.
- To finish, microwave the 15g chocolate on Medium for about 20 secs until melted. Stir gently until smooth, then drizzle all over the cake.

Steps:
- Make around 35ml espresso using a coffee machine and pour into the base of your cup. Add the drinking chocolate and mix well until smooth.
- Steam the milk with the steamer attachment so that it has around 4-6cm of foam on top. Hold the jug so that the spout is about 3-4cm above the cup and pour the milk in steadily. As the volume within the cup increases, bring the jug as close to the surface of the drink as possible whilst aiming into the centre. Once the milk jug is almost touching the surface of the coffee, tilt to speed up the rate of pour. As you accelerate, the milk will hit the back of the cup and start naturally folding in on itself to create a pattern on the top.

LIGHT CAFE MOCHA
I worked hard to get the right measurements for this. I love cafe mochas but don't love the sugar, hence I used the wonderful sweetener, stevia! It is a natural product that you will find in health stores and has no calories but is around 30 times as powerful as sugar. I also like the dual chocolates. The dutch cocoa gives it a rich flavor while the regular cocoa gives it that nice bitter end.

Steps:
- Heat 1 cup of milk on stovetop. You can eliminate the skin that forms on the bottom of the pot or pan by wetting it before heating. You can prevent the skin that forms at the surface by either foaming the milk (whip it) before heating or covering the pot or both.
- Recommend pre-heating the cup by putting water in it and microwaving it for 2 minutes.
- When milk is hot (I use a digital probe thermometer and wait for it to get to about 170), discard water from cup and add dry ingredients to bottom of cup.
- Add milk slowly, stirring.
- Enjoy!
