Cost: $10.92 total, $1.82 per serving

Ingredients

  • 200 g Dark Chocolate (70% Cocoa) (Sugar‑free, high‑quality bar; break into pieces before melting)
  • 200 g Plain Non‑Fat Yogurt (Unsweetened, no additives; can be store‑bought or homemade)
  • 4 pieces Eggs (Large eggs, yolks and whites separated)
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (For greasing pan if parchment is not used)
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder (Optional dusting for pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan

    Line the 8‑inch round baking pan with parchment paper. If you skip parchment, grease the pan with coconut oil and dust lightly with cocoa powder.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Melt the Chocolate

    Break the chocolate bar into small pieces. Microwave on high for 30‑second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

    Time: PT3M

  3. Combine Yogurt

    Stir the plain yogurt into the melted chocolate until the mixture is uniform.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Separate Eggs

    Separate the yolks from the whites of the four eggs. Place yolks in a clean bowl and whites in a separate bowl.

    Time: PT3M

  5. Add Yolks to Chocolate Mixture

    Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate‑yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Whip Egg Whites

    Using a hand mixer on medium speed (or a whisk), beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.

    Time: PT5M

  7. Fold Egg Whites Into Batter

    Add about one‑third of the whipped egg whites to the chocolate batter and gently fold with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining whites, adding them in two more thirds, folding each time until just combined.

    Time: PT5M

  8. Transfer to Pan

    Pour the final batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

    Time: PT2M

  9. Set Up Water Bath

    Place the pan on a larger baking sheet or water‑bath tray. Carefully pour hot water around the pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides.

    Time: PT3M

  10. Bake the Cake

    Preheat the oven to 360°F (182°C). Bake the cake in the water bath for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Time: PT45M

    Temperature: 360°F

  11. Cool and Unmold

    Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then lift the cake out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

    Time: PT10M
