Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round baking pan. Dust the pan with a little cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Greek yogurt. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
-
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake the Sokolatopita Chocolate Cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving to add a touch of elegance and sweetness.
