Fudgy Whole Wheat Yogurt Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
• Whisk together yogurt, sugar, oil, eggs, coffee, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; whisk until air bubbles form in the batter. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FUDGY WHOLE-WHEAT YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Grease an 8x8 pan and preheat oven to 375.
• Blend all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Steps:

• In the bottom of a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and peanut butter. With a fork, stir until smoothly combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Place the mug on a paper towel in the microwave to catch any drips. Microwave on HIGH for 90 seconds, just until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The center will be batter-like and molten. Do not over microwave or the cake will be dry. It may take a little experimenting, depending upon the power of your microwave and width of your mug. Wider mugs will cook more quickly, while taller, narrower mugs may need a little more time.
• Let cool at least 3 full minutes (the cake will continue to cook a bit as it cools, and the cake will be very hot). Add any desired toppings. DEVOUR.

MOIST HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• We start by making frosting first because it needs to chill. In a medium pot, warm up entire can of coconut milk (cream and clear liquid) just until it starts to boil but not boiling.
• Remove from heat, add chocolate, vanilla extract, salt, and whisk until smooth. It will be runny. Place right in the pot in the fridge to solidify - should take about 3-4 hours.
• Frosting is ready to be whipped when there is a dent from your finger. Whip it up with an electric hand mixer for a few minutes or until a bit fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the cake
• Place two 9 inch round cake pans bottoms down on parchment paper, circle around with pen, then cut out with scissors. Place cut outs inside each cake pan and spray with cooking spray covering the sides. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, cacao powder, baking soda + powder, salt and whisk until you see no lumps.
• In another large bowl, add eggs, maple syrup, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract. Whisk or beat with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture to the bowl with wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. Add boiling water, and whisk until combined well.
• Divide batter evenly between two previously prepared cake pans and bake on a bottom rack for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some crumbs attached to it. Do not overbake.
• Remove cakes from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Using a spatula, separate the edge of each cake from the pan, flip on a wire rack, peel off parchment paper and let cakes cool off completely before assembling.
• When ready to assemble the cake, use about 1 cup of frosting for the middle layer, and the rest will be enough for full coverage of the top and sides.
• To decorate with chocolate shavings, using a vegetable peeler shave the chocolate bar into a bowl, then add on top. Also fresh berries or freeze dried crushed raspberries will be great! Cut into 16 slices, serve and enjoy!
