Preheat the oven to 350F (190C). Generously butter and flour a bundt pan (or any pan lined with parchment paper).
In a bowl add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with a mixer for about 4 minutes or until thick and light (the mixture should look like a thick cream).
Add the oil and plain yogurt (or sour cream) and give it a quick mix. Add the cacao and mix. Then the flour and baking powder and mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once the cake is done let it cool and then gently invert it onto a plate.
Create a double-boiler by filling a medium pot with 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot (be sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the simmering water.) Add the chocolate to the bowl. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted. Turn off the heat. Stir in the the half-and-half.
Pour the ganache over the cake and spread it out with a spatula. Let the ganache set and serve.
