Ingredients

This recipe will make one 8-inch round, 3-layer cake. For best results, make sure to assemble the cake on the same day you plan to serve it.

For the cake:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the yogurt and vanilla extract.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and boiling water until combined. Add the cocoa mixture to the batter and mix until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
