This chocolate yogurt cake is a little healthier than some others out there. When well wrapped, this dessert keeps very well for several days.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 ½ cups full-fat yogurt

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup canola oil

  • 3 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup cocoa powder

  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.

  2. Whisk together yogurt, sugar, oil, eggs, coffee, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; whisk until air bubbles form in batter. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
