Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup nonfat Greek yogurt plain
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Colavita organic extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 3.5 oz. Perugina 51% Cacao Premium Chocolate bar, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir the sugar, yogurt, eggs, vanilla and olive oil together until fully combined.
  • In batches, mix the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture and gently stir until combined. Fold in the chopped chocolate and then pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes; then gently run a knife along the side of the cake. Carefully invert the cake onto a plate and then invert again onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Serve alone, dusted with powdered sugar, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Try topping with pomegranate arils for a special holiday touch.
