A chocolate yogurt cake that is a little more healthy than some others out there. When well-wrapped, this keeps very well for several days.

This cake really has potential. As-is though I did have some problems with it. First off the batter was really really dry--and I ended up adding approximately 1/2 cup of coffee to get it to the correct consistency. Second I think this could stand to be baked in a larger pan for less time. The cake domed a lot and the dome ended up being almost burnt while the center of the cake was still under-done after baking 55 minutes. Lastly the flavor needs tweaking for our taste. Not enough cocoa flavor. With all this being said I would definitely make this again with the following changes: use melted butter in place of oil 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsps vanilla and only 2 cups of whole wheat flour. Keep the other ingredients the same. Put it into a 9x13 and start checking for doneness after about 20-25 minutes. I think these changes would make this cake even better. Thanks for the recipe!
