  2. 2 Large egg yolks
  3. 1/4 Cup sugar
  4. 2 Cups milk
  5. 1/4 Cup cornstarch

CHOCOLATE GANACHE
  1. 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  2. 1/4 Cup unsalted butter
  3. 2 Tablespoons milk
  4. 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. To make the cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer or a hand mixer, blend in unsalted butter until it’s well-mixed into the dry ingredients. It should resemble a coarse sand.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
  4. Add wet to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Try not to over-mix.
  5. Butter and flour a 9 inch cake tin and pour batter into tin.
  6. Bake cake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees F until the cake is set and a tester comes out clean from the center. It should be nicely browned on top.
  7. Let cake cool for a few minutes and then break it into pieces.
  8. For filling, whisk together eggs, sugar, and yogurt in a medium bowl.
  9. In a small saucepan, whisk together milk and cornstarch over medium-low heat. Continue to heat until the mixture is steaming and thick.
  10. Whisk hot milk mixture into yogurt mixture. Stir in vanilla. Cool in the fridge for 2-3 hours until the custard is thick and set.
  11. For ganache, add all the ingredients to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high in 20 second bursts until the mixture is melted.
  12. To make the cups, add some cake to each glass/cup, then top with a spoonful of vanilla custard, and then a small spoonful of chocolate ganache. Repeat the layers in each.
  13. Chill cups until you serve them.
