Black Cherry Chocolate Chobani Yogurt Cake

 

I recently received a variety of Chobani yogurts and I was looking for something to do with them besides just eating them out of the cups, so I thought chocolate cherry cake sounded pretty amazing. I like to use what items I have on hand, so I decided to use some whole wheat bread flour, and it turned out really well.

Ingredients

Chocolate Cherry Cake

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3 eggs lightly beaten, room temperature
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Chobani Black Cherry Greek Yogurt
• 1/4 cup unsweetened Hershey’s cocoa powder
• 1 cup whole wheat bread flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• pinch of salt

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

• In a large bowl, beat butter and cocoa powder together until combined.
• Add milk and vanilla; beat until smooth.
• Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until desired consistency is achieved.

Adjust with more milk or confectioners' sugar if necessary.
