Ingredients
For Healthy Chocolate Cake:
1 3/4 cups whole wheat or spelt flour
3/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup plain yogurt 3%+ fat
1/4 cup avocado oil or any mild tasting oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
For Healthy Chocolate Frosting:
14 oz can coconut milk full fat (not coconut cream)
2 cups chocolate chips 10 oz bag
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch salt
For Decor (Optional):
1 chocolate bar room temperature
Instructions
To Make Healthy Chocolate Frosting:
1. We start by making frosting first because it needs to chill. In a medium pot, warm up
entire can of coconut milk (cream and clear liquid) just until it starts to boil but not boiling.
2. Remove from heat, add chocolate, vanilla extract, salt, and whisk until smooth. It will be
runny. Place right in the pot in the fridge to solidify – should take about 3-4 hours.

3. Frosting is ready to be whipped when there is a dent from your finger. Whip it up with an
electric hand mixer for a few minutes or until a bit fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to
assemble the cake
To Make Healthy Chocolate Cake:
1. Place two 9 inch round cake pans bottoms down on parchment paper, circle around with
pen, then cut out with scissors. Place cut outs inside each cake pan and spray
with cooking spray covering the sides. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cacao powder, baking soda + powder, salt and whisk until
you see no lumps.
3. In another large bowl, add eggs, maple syrup, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract. Whisk or beat
with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add flour mixture to the bowl with wet ingredients
and whisk until smooth. Add boiling water, and whisk until combined well.
4. Divide batter evenly between two previously prepared cake pans and bake on a bottom
rack for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some
crumbs attached to it. Do not overbake.
5. Remove cakes from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Using a spatula, separate the
edge of each cake from the pan, flip on a wire rack, peel off parchment paper and let
cakes cool off completely before assembling.
6. When ready to assemble the cake, use about 1 cup of frosting for the middle layer, and
the rest will be enough for full coverage of the top and sides.
7. To decorate with chocolate shavings, using a vegetable peeler shave the chocolate bar
into a bowl, then add on top. Also fresh berries or freeze dried crushed raspberries will be
great! Cut into 16 slices, serve and enjoy!
Notes
I originally posted this healthy chocolate cake recipe back in 2017 and updated it at the end of
2021. The cake itself has very slight modifications. However, instead of using yogurt frosting
which was too runny, I included a 4 ingredient thick frosting that you can actually spread.
Store: Refrigerate covered for up to 5 days.
Freeze: Tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
