Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (7½ oz/210 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 recipe Best Ever Chocolate Fudge Frosting
- ½ cup (2 oz/57 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ ticks(6 oz/180 g) butter, softened
- 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (beaten*)
- 1 cup (10 oz/282g) plain yogurt
- ¼ cup (1½ oz/43 g) bittersweet chocolate, melted
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Notes
- You can substitute the eggs with apple sauce, buttermilk, or banana. For quantities reference my Egg Substitute Chart.
- Use any type of yogurt e.g./ plain, Greek, or even dairy-free yogurt.
- Don’t be tempted to use hot chocolate powder instead of the 1/2 cup of cocoa powder I recommend. They are not the same thing.
- Allow your butter to sit out overnight to come to room temperature before making the batter
- Always start with room-temperature eggs. To bring cold eggs to room temperature quicker, put them in a bowl of warm for 10 minutes before using.
- The cook time below is based on my microwave which is 1200 Watts, so your cook time may vary depending on your microwave.
- You can also add 1 tsp of espresso powder to boost the chocolate flavor.
