Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Slowly whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the wet ingredients.
  5. Add cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until fully combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are set and the center remains slightly soft.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Cool completely before slicing for the best fudgy texture.

Notes

  • This cake is naturally gluten-free since it contains no flour.
  • Greek yogurt gives the cake extra moisture and richness.
  • The cake becomes even fudgier after chilling overnight.
  • Use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate for a dairy-free version.
  • Fresh berries or whipped cream make excellent toppings.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft center.
  • Store refrigerated because of the yogurt content.
