Chocolate Cake Recipe Chocolate
This moist, fudgy homemade dessert is an easy and decadent treat that makes baking feel like a breeze. A touch of Greek yogurt adds to its soft crumb and rich flavor, making it perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1¾ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup hot brewed coffee or hot water
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional garnish: chocolate shavings or fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
- Crack in the eggs, add Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and glossy.
- Slowly pour in hot coffee or hot water. Stir gently until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with few crumbs.
- Let the cake cool in the pan, then invert onto a rack to cool completely. Frost as desired.
Notes
Measuring flour by weight avoids a gummy crumb. Do not overmix the batter for a tender texture. Cool the cake fully before frosting.
