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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix until smooth.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the melted coconut oil while stirring continuously to incorporate it fully.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and blueberries gently using a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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 11

If desired, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
