Remember this?
Yeah…that is what I spread all over the top of this cake, and then proceeded to lick the bowl. Can you blame me?
While, I could have just eaten the entire bowl with a spoon, it was SUPER delicious on this healthier chocolate cake.
Because everything is better with a little chocolate!
The cake isn’t as moist and fluffy as a normal chocolate cake, but come on it doesn’t have any butter, oil, or eggs! Beat that! 😉 Haha…or not, since there are no eggs.
It still has the lovely rich chocolate flavor, and topped with the fluffy marshmallow frosting, it’s a match made in heaven.
Anyway. I have another doctor’s appointment today. I wonder how the baby is doing! He or she is certainly quite active these days. And if you ever want more updates just go here.
P.S. If you haven’t entered the Keep It Sweet Desserts giveaway, tomorrow is the deadline! 😀

- 4 tablespoons Hershey’s special dark cocoa powder

Great idea to use Greek yogurt, I’m a big fan. This looks wonderful Caroline!
I adore chobani! Its the best substitute for fattier/less healthy ingredients. The cake looks just perfect to me. Hope the appointment goes well!
sounds yummy + i love that it’s healthified. greek yogurt makes everything delicious, in my opinion!
What a fabulous cake! Yum!
This is such a stunning cake, and I bet it was even more delicious than it looks! So creative to lighten it up with Greek yogurt, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Mmm, such a simple but beautiful cake. Plus I love that you used yogurt 😀 Looks delicious!
That cake topping looks like a big comfy blanket! Yummy yummy blanket…
I love finding healthier sweet alternatives, even if they aren’t “quite” like the real thing!
I bet this cake is delicious! And that frosting…gimme!
Just wanted to let you know I made this last night and it’s delicious.
I added a 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce and 1 35g scoop of chocolate
protein powder to mine. Super moist and rich. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a great addition, Ashley! Thank you for making the cake and for letting me know. 😀 Yum.
