Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
3/4 cup plain greek yogurt, (I used Fage 2%)
1/4 cup milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour (or use cocoa powder) an 8×8 cake pan.
  • Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Add yogurt and mix until batter is smooth. Add in milk and mix until batter comes together. Pour into pan.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until cake is set. Cake will be thin, and appear a bit spongey. Serve with fresh whipped cream and cocoa syrup.
  • ETA: some are saying the cake is taking longer to cook - around 25-35 minutes. Just keep an eye on it!
  • Mix all ingredients until a smooth glaze forms. If mixture is too thin, add more sugar. If too thick, add more water one drop at a time.

2/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder plus additional for dusting pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
Special Equipment
an 8 1/2- by 4 1/2- by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan (6-cup capacity)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter pan, then dust with cocoa powder, knocking out excess.
  • Whisk together flour, 2/3 cup cocoa, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Whisk yogurt with water and vanilla in another bowl. Beat 3/4 stick butter with sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour mixture. Add yogurt mixture, then remaining flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Transfer batter to pan and bake until a skewer inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in pan on a rack 15 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
  • If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt. Just be sure to drain it well so that it's thick and creamy.
  • You can add a variety of mix-ins to this cake, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
  • To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
