Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted and cooled)
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen, not thawed)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
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, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until smooth.
Slowly pour in the melted coconut oil while stirring continuously to incorporate it fully.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and blueberries gently using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
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.
If desired, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
