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.
