I'm reading your recipe and I see that you list 1 1/2 cmelted chocolateThat seems like an AWFUL LOT for the small amount of flour listedOverall you have listed lots of liquid ingredients: butter, oil, yogurt, chocolate, 4 eggs(!), milk I know it's too late now to rescue the cake but I don't think you should cover with foilCheck your baking temp and the location of your oven rack Was this supposed to be more like a souffle than a cake?
