Spoon-mixed chocolate chip yogurt cake – notes
I recently found the recipe for today’s cake on Heather’s blog Curly Girl Kitchen and decided to try it because its simplicity captivated me. The preparation here is incredibly quick and simple, and it only requires very basic ingredients. Ones you usually already have in the kitchen. That’s why this cake is perfect for emergencies – unexpected guests or low supplies. The cake can be ready in about 40 minutes! Therefore, I highly recommend this recipe and encourage you to save it for later.
P.S. If you’re worried about losing this recipe (or any other from my blog), be sure to check out my Instagram – I also share my recipes there, and you can easily save them for later :) And if you love intensely chocolatey cakes, be sure to try my recipe for a quick chocolate cake, which you can also make without a mixer.
What ingredients are needed to make a cake without a mixer?
As I mentioned above, you will only need very basic ingredients here. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- wheat flour – I used type 500 flour, but regular cake flour or type 550 flour can also be used. You can use all-purpose flour too.
- natural yogurt – for me, it’s thick Greek yogurt
- oil – for me, it’s rapeseed oil, but you can use any oil, even melted coconut oil
- vanilla – to add flavor to the cake, I added some vanilla extract, you can also use vanilla flavoring, or another flavoring – e.g., orange or almond flavoring would also fit nicely here
- chocolate – I used dessert chocolate chunks, if you prefer sweeter cakes, you can use milk chocolate
How to make chocolate chip cake – tips
I don’t have many tips here, because making this cake is extremely simple – just mix the ingredients and combine them. I’ll add that the batter comes out very thick. If you have a lot of trouble mixing it, add a little more yogurt. Regular milk also works well – just pour in a little and mix.
You can also make the cake with added fruit. Because it’s thick, they definitely won’t sink to the bottom. However, don’t add them to the batter, as they might break apart during mixing. Transfer the cake batter to the mold, and arrange the fruit on top. Bake the cake similarly to the one with chocolate.
How many calories does chocolate cake have?
In the table below the recipe, I provided the calorie count for 100g of cake (based on the ingredients I used). If you cut the cake into 12 roughly equal pieces, each will have approximately 319 kcal (carbohydrates – 38g, protein – 5g, fat – 16g).
How to store chocolate cake?
It’s best to keep the cake at room temperature (e.g., on the kitchen counter). If you want the cake to last longer, transfer it to an airtight container with a lid to prevent it from drying out.
You can also freeze the cake for about 3 months.
