12 servings

  • 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (Optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup brewed black coffee, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¾ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste (Optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Whisk whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk brewed coffee and espresso powder together in a large bowl. Add Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract; whish until thoroughly combined and no lumps remain. Stir in 1/2 of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pan and place the pan onto a baking sheet.
  • Place both pans in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Gently run a table knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Remove the sides of the pan and allow cake to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes more.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
