Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams dark chocolate (chopped)
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 120 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, Greek yogurt, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop when no streaks of flour remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor. Enjoy!
