  4. In a medium bowl, add flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes to one hour, or until a toothpick inserted in center of the cake comes out clean.
  6. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. For the frosting, add butter, yoghurt, vanilla extract, sugar, milk, and salt to a medium bowl and beat on low speed with a handheld mixer for 2-3 minutes or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  8. Decorate the cake with the yoghurt frosting and your favorite decorations.
