How to Make Greek Yogurt Chocolate Cake (No Flour)

PIN IT

1. Preheat and prep

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

2. Melt chocolate and butter

In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate and butter until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

3. Mix the wet ingredients

Whisk in the eggs, maple syrup (or honey), Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Don’t worry if it looks a bit curdled—it’ll smooth out.

4. Stir in the dry ingredients

Add cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.

5. Pour and bake

Pour into your prepared pan, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if using, and bake for 25–30 minutes. The center should be just set and slightly jiggly.

6. Cool completely

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool fully before slicing.

What to Serve with Greek Yogurt Chocolate Cake

This cake shines on its own, but if you want to dress it up:

• A dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream
• Fresh raspberries or strawberries
• A scoop of vanilla bean ice cream
• Drizzle of warm peanut butter or caramel sauce

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake. You want the center fudgy, not dry.
• Use good chocolate. Since it’s the main flavor, go for at least 60% cocoa.
• Room temperature yogurt and eggs blend better and keep the batter smooth.
• Let it rest. The flavor deepens as it cools.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Wrap slices in parchment and freeze in a bag for up to 3 months.
• To reheat: Warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for gooey goodness.
