How to Make Fudgy Whole Wheat Yogurt Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. For the best texture, allow the cake to cool for at least a few hours, or even overnight, before serving.
  7. Serve your Fudgy Whole Wheat Yogurt Cake as is, or elevate it with your favorite frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar.
