Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups Cake Flour (I used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour)
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2/3 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbls. whole milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 8 tbls. unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar (you can use your preferred sugar)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- For The Chocolate Ganache:
- 2 1/2 tbls. milk (heated in microwave)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven 325 degrees. Spray loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In small bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate dish mix together yogurt, milk and vanilla.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (approx. 3 min.). Add in eggs one at a time mixing after each addition. Reduce speed to low then alternate adding the flour mixture and yogurt mixture, beating after each addition.
- Remove about 1 cup of the batter and set aside.
- Pour the larger amount of batter in the loaf pan and set aside.
- In a small dish heat the 2½ TBLS. of milk for 15 seconds in the microwave, or until it is hot without bubbling over. Add in the chocolate chips and stir until all the chips are melted.
- Drop small amounts (the mixture will be thick) of the melted chocolate around the top of the cake batter in the loaf pan. Then add the remainder of the 1 cup batter spread evenly over the top of the chocolate and add more chocolate to the top of the batter, just poking it down with a spoon into the batter.
- Place cake into the heated oven and bake approximately 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
- Cool on rack for 15 minutes then remove from pan to cool completely.
