Ingredients
  

For the Cake Batter
  • 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt Provides moisture and richness; avoid regular yogurt for a thinner result.
  • 4 large Eggs Room temperature works best for texture.
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup/Honey/Coconut Sugar Adjust based on your taste preferences.
  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil or Butter Choose according to your dietary needs.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile beautifully.
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour The main dry ingredient providing structure; substitute with oat flour for a nut-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Opt for high-quality cocoa to elevate the taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps the cake rise, giving it a perfect fluffy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances and enhances the flavors throughout the cake.
  • 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips Optional; adds a decadent touch.

Equipment

  • 8-inch round cake pan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it with coconut oil or butter, and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, eggs, and your choice of sweetener until smooth. Add melted coconut oil or butter and vanilla extract.
  3. Sift in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in dark chocolate chips into the batter evenly.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes before gently removing from the pan.

Notes

Use quality plain Greek yogurt for a creamy texture. Ensure eggs reach room temperature for fluffiness. Sifting dry ingredients helps eliminate lumps and aids in better rise. Avoid over-mixing for lightness.
