Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 9 muffin pan and line with liners. Beat the sugar and yogurt in a large bowl, for 5 minutes on high speed. Add baking powder and baking soda, beat in on low, and allow to stand for 3 minutes. You will find that bubbles appear. In a separate bowl, sift cocoa powder & flour together 2-3 times. |

Bake at 200 C for 10 minutes, reduce temperature to 170-180°C and bake for another 10-15 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the cupcake comes out clean.
