Yes dd I many friends of mine have similar recipes but ones where you need marg. If you want it even less fattening you can mix the cocoa and sugar filling with warm water and spread it on like that without the oil layer.

My cakes are in the oven now. Here are my comments: (a) No need to preheat the oven before you start. After all, the dough rises for 45 minutes. Turn on the oven after the dough is finished rising. (b) You need flour to keep the dough from sticking when you roll it out. Make sure you keep some flour for this. Otherwise you’ll end up having to ask the neighbors for flour – like me. (c) I filled 7 cake tins, and even had a bit of dough left. (d) About 1/3 of the cocoa/sugar powder was left over. (e) Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you PetalM

Calling this ‘yeast cake’ does not make it sound appetizing, but the images of preparation do help and it is probably delicious

Very well written with good instructions and picture illustration. This i will definitely have the little wife to try. I’ve gained at least two pounds reading the wonderful recipes. Well done.
