Description
A rich, moist, and deeply chocolatey flourless cake made with black cocoa and Greek yogurt for a tender, slightly fudgy texture. This simple, protein-packed dessert is naturally gluten-free and lower in carbs.
Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1/3 cup powdered low-carb sweetener
1/4 cup black cocoa powder
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the black cocoa powder, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb moisture and thicken.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Allow the cake to cool before slicing to help it firm up.
Notes
Add sugar-free chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
A pinch of espresso powder enhances the chocolate taste.
Adjust sweetener based on desired sweetness and yogurt type.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Serve chilled for a fudgier texture or warm slightly in the microwave.
Regular cocoa powder can be used, though flavor and color will be lighter.
