Chocolate Yogurt Cake

Easy to make with delicious chocolate flavor, this Chocolate Yogurt Cake has a moist, dense texture with a light and tender crumb. Made with cocoa powder, oil and yogurt, it’s a simple and elegant dessert!
When it comes to the best chocolate cake recipes, you will often find that the cakes are loaded with butter and smothered under layers of fluffy buttercream frosting. This chocolate yogurt cake recipe uses plain, whole fat yogurt instead of butter and the results are drool-worthy!
This chocolate cake recipe with yogurt is moist, super-chocolatey and has the best tender crumb. You will need a mixer to incorporate air into the batter to keep the cake light, but you could use a whisk if you would like.
Serve this cake for a decadent breakfast, as an afternoon snack or for dessert. It really is the best combination of my favorite chocolate cake with mocha frosting and easy yogurt cake!
