Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Sticks Butter room temperature
  • 5 whole eggs divided
  • 2 Cups Sugar divided
  • 2 Tsp Baking soda
  • 1 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 3/4 Cup Greek fat free plain yogurt
  • 2 1/2 Tsp Vanilla extract divided
  • 3/4 Cup Cocoa powder
  • 12 Ounces Cream Cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.

    Whisk butter and 1 3/4 cups of sugar.  Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder,  and salt in a stand mixer. Set aside. Add 4 of the eggs.  Mix the yogurt into the chocolate and combine with vanilla in stand mixer. Beat all ingredients until the batter is completely combined. Set aside as you prepare the cream cheese filling.

    Make the cream cheese filling: Using a handheld mixer and beat the cream cheese on high speed until no lumps remain. Beat in the remaining ingredients on medium-high speed until combined.

    Pour half of the chocolate batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Spread all of the cream cheese filling evenly on top. The cream cheese batter is thick, so use a spatula to spread it around as evenly as possible.  Pour the remaining chocolate batter evenly on top.

    Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean with just a couple lightly moist crumbs. It might take longer to cook in your oven.  The cake is very thick.

    Once done, allow the cake to cool. Carefully remove the cake from the bundt pan.

    Serve and enjoy!
