Orange & Chocolate Greek Yogurt Cake
Moist, fragrant, and dotted with dark chocolate — a Mediterranean-style cake with citrus brightness.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tsp orange zest
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a standard cake pan with olive oil or butter and lightly dust with flour.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the yogurt, sugar, eggs, olive oil, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
- Make the batter: Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet until combined. Don’t overmix.
- Add the chocolate chips: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
