Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup neutral oil
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square pan. In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, eggs, oil, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently just until combined, then fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  3. Spread batter into the pan, scatter a few extra chips on top, and bake 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  4. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack. Cool completely before slicing. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

The cake tastes even better the next day after the chocolate settles. If you only have a 9-inch pan, check at 25 minutes. Sour cream works in place of yogurt for a slightly richer crumb.
