Ok let me show you the steps in making this delicious cake!
Shift the flour with Corn four, Baking soda, Baking powder.
Measure 1/2 cup of curds
Melt the butter.
Add all the wet ingredients to the flour, mix well.
Finally add the olive oil.
Add in as much as Chocolate chips you want, if you are like me, you will add quite some!
Grease and dust the loaf pan with butter and flour. Pat the pan down so that excess flour falls off.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Pat the pan down so that the batter spreads well. Don't spread it with spoon, cake will not rise well.
Top the batter with more chocolate chips
Pre Heat the oven before baking the cake at 185 degree C for 25 minutes
Don't open the door between the first 15- 17 mins. Insert a tooth pick in the center to check the doneness.
When the toothpick comes out clean like this, you know it is almost done. Bake for the rest of the time for more complete baking.
Allow it to cool in the oven for 5 mins, before taking it out.
Again let it cool completely before you slice it.
Corn Flour - 1 tbsp
Icing Sugar - 3/4 cup
Baking Soda - 1 & 1/2 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Curds/ Yogurt - 1/2 cup
Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Butter - 2 tsp
Milk - 1 - 2 tbsp
Chocolate Chips - as required
Vanilla Essence few drops
Extra flour and butter for dusting
Method to prepare:
Butter and dust the baking pan. Gently pat it down to remove excess flour from the pan.
Shift the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Melt the butter, beat the curds. Add the butter and curds to the dry ingredients. Using a spoon/ fork gently mix the mixture. Finally add the olive oil
Add the chocolate chips to the batter and gently mix in well. Don't beat at this stage.
Pre heat the oven at 185 degree C.
Check consistency, it should be pouring, else add 1 tbsp of milk.
Pour into the prepare tin, tap the pan down for the batter to spread on its own. Don't use spoon.
Bake at 185 degree C for 25 minute. Don't check for done ness until the first 15 mins.
Use a toothpick to see if the cake is done. Insert the stick in the center and if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Once the full time is done, allow it to cool in the oven for 5 mins, then remove and cool outside for a while.
Slice the cake into small serving pieces when it is completely cooled.

I love that your cake is eggless since I'm always looking for ways to cut down on cholesterol. And it looks like this recipe turns out great without them. I have a linky party going on at my blog called "Sweets for a Saturday" and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link this up.

Vasudha Somayaji says
Hi,
Just needed help from you. I tried out this cake in Convection mode of m/w oven and I used square glass dish in convection mode. But in the end of the baking time the edges if the cake comes out ok but the middle is still left uncooked. Do you know the reason for this? Should I use dish that you have used here? Pls pls help..
Thanks
Srivalli says
Vasudha, I think when you try in a different dish, you will probably need to increase the time, as thumb rule, in any cake baking you should not open the door for the first 15 - 20 mins. When you check for doneness, if you find that after 25 mins if the toothpick doesn't come out well, then decrease the time and bake for 5 -7 more mins.

What yoghurt do I use ?
and in the ingredient s it written icing sugar , when do I add this?
Srivalli says
Anon I use the regular Indian Dahi. And the icing sugar is part of the dry ingredients to which butter and curds are added.

Hi Srivalli
I am the person who asked about the icing sugar and dahi. Thanks for replying back to me. I used a 8 inch circle baking tin instead. It took my cake 40mins to cook at 185 degrees. I have made so many various cake recipes but this been given a gold award.
I made the cake again and tried RADIKHA,S comment on 29th jan 2011, I added 1/2 cup of butter and it did not come out so good.
My advise is follow Srivalli recipe and you will get the best eggless cake
