Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee or espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter evenly.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with your spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, if desired.

Step 10

Slice and serve the Mocha Yogurt Coffee Cake with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
