American Dark Chocolate Yogurt Cake
A moist dark chocolate yogurt cake with cocoa, melted chocolate, vanilla, and a soft tender crumb.
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F and line a cake pan.
-
Melt the dark chocolate gently and let it cool slightly.
-
Whisk eggs, sugar, yogurt, oil, vanilla, and melted chocolate until smooth.
-
In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Fold dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture just until combined.
-
Spread batter in the pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake until the center is set and a toothpick has moist crumbs, not wet batter.
-
Cool before slicing so the cake stays tender and neat.
Tips
Do not overbake; chocolate cake is best when a few moist crumbs remain on the tester.
