How to Make Chocolate Almond Yogurt Cake (No Flour)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175 °C). Grease or line your pan.
Whisk together cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
In a second bowl, beat eggs with maple syrup (or honey), almond butter (or coconut oil), Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
Fold dry ingredients gently into wet mixture just until combined—don’t overmix!
Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle on chocolate chips or almond slices if desired.
Bake 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool completely before slicing to let the fudgy center set. I’m always amazed at how dense yet airy it stays—total magic!

What to Serve with This Chocolate Almond Yogurt Cake

A scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream
Fresh berries or fruit compote (especially raspberries)
A warm cup of espresso or rich hot chocolate
A glass of milk (dairy or almond works beautifully)

Tips for Making It Perfect

Room temperature ingredients help create even texture and avoid dense spots.
Don’t overbake—watch closely around 25 minutes for that fudgy centre.
Prep in advance by mixing batter the night before and baking fresh in the morning!
Customize sweetness by adjusting honey or syrup to your taste.

Storage Instructions

Cover and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.
For longer life, refrigerate up to 5 days (bring to room temp before serving).
Freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment and foil for up to 2 months; thaw overnight.
