This chocolate yogurt cake is rich, creamy and really easy to make with just 3 main ingredients. The cake has a mousse like texture that melts in your mouth.
This chocolate yogurt cake redefines simplicity and indulgence, proving that you don’t need a pantry full of ingredients to create something extraordinary. Imagine a dessert so effortlessly elegant, yet secretly gluten free and remarkably light. It’s a testament to minimalist baking.

We tested this recipe twice. The first time we used dark chocolate bars and the color was beautiful. The second time we used semi sweet chocolate chips and the color was lighter but the taste was sweeter.

The magic happens with a harmonious blend of Greek yogurt, which lends an unparalleled creaminess and a subtle tang. The rich melted chocolate incorporates intense flavor, and the eggs provide structure without a speck of flour. Achieving a luxurious texture with just three core components.

The result is a cake that’s not just a treat for your taste buds, but also a breeze to prepare. It emerges from the oven with a delicate, almost mousse like consistency that melts in your mouth, leaving behind a profound chocolatey satisfaction. Delightful chocolate yogurt cake dessert that champions simplicity without sacrificing a bit of its incredibly creamy allure.

The absolute key to this recipe is not over baking it. You will be tempted to because it will look under baked. But please take it out of the oven at the 45 to 50 minute mark.

Hi, thank you so much for your great recipes! Can I ask why can’t we make this in a larger cake pan? 😊 I bought a 6” pan to make this but realized if I want to make it for family it would have to be bigger.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet but if the recipe is doubled, what size pan do you recommend and how much longer to bake it?
Hi Pamela, I would recommend an 8 inch cake pan
Hi Stella, The smallest I could find at the store was a 9 inch. It’s in the oven just now. I’m thinking baking it for 60 -65 minutes. Any extra tips are welcome. 🙂
Thank you,
Pamela L.
Hi Pamela, how did it turn out?
Hi Stella, it turned out good though it could have been sweeter.i used unsweetened non-dairy yogurt and chocolate chunks from Thrive which are dairy free, sweetened with coconut sugar.
I might try this recipe again.
Thank you
Delicious
Thanks for trying the recipe Nikol!
Can you use nonfat Greek yogurt?

Questions here? Haven’t made this yet. When removing cake in water bath from the oven, when do you remove the pan from the water bath, and when do you remove cake from the the 6″ pan? not sure where the 10 minutes comes in. Does the cake set-up before it is cool? Thanks.
Do we bake on top track or middle? Thank you
Love this. Question when baking middle rack top rack? Thank you
Hi Janice. Please see video too! But it should be middle rack
