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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, Greek yogurt, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Step 4
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Stop when no streaks of flour remain.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
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).
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor. Enjoy!
