Chocolate Cake Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly spray and flour your cake pan.

Step 2

Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl combine flour, dry chocolate pudding mix, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.

Step 3

Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine HOT coffee with the cocoa powder until it dissolves. Slowly add milk and vanilla extract. Set aside.

Step 4

Mix: In a stand mixer on low speed combine the sugar and oil; mix to combine well.

Step 5

Add the applesauce until mixed through. Then add eggs and egg whites until incorporated.

Step 6

Starting with the dry ingredients, slowly add a little of the dry, then a little of the wet ingredients, alternating between wet and dry until all the ingredients are mixed in.

Step 7

Last step is to add the Greek yogurt and just stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour into the cake pan and transfer to oven.

Step 9

Depending on the pan you use, (I used a 13 x 9-inch pan) bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cupcakes will be closer to 25-30 minutes.
