Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Add the granulated sugar and dark chocolate chips to the dry ingredients. Stir until evenly distributed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a thick batter forms.
Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, stirring constantly. The batter will thin out—this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with melted chocolate, or top with fresh berries before serving.
