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!
