Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chunks
  • Optional topping: 2 tbsp coarse sugar + extra chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square or round baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in yogurt and vanilla until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chunks.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with optional coarse sugar and extra chocolate chunks.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee.

Notes

  • Use full-fat yogurt for best texture and richness.
  • For extra decadence, drizzle with chocolate ganache after baking.
  • This cake stays moist for days—store covered at room temperature or in the fridge.
  • Substitute chocolate chunks with chips or chopped baking chocolate as desired.
