We wanted to make something chocolaty for Valentine’s Day, and we wanted to use our newest yummy flavor, raspberry. This moist, delicious chocolate raspberry cake fits the bill. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Makes 12 servings

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 (5.3oz) containers Voskos raspberry yogurt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
Glaze: 1/4 cup raspberry jam

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9X5-inch loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and Voskos. Whisk in the oil and the sugar, until mixture is smooth.

4. Transfer the liquid mixture into the flour mixture. Mix with a spatula to combine. Don’t over mix.

5. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake 45 minutes, then loosely cover with foil and bake 15 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Spread the jam on top of the warm cake. Cool in the pan, on a wire rack, 20 minutes, then invert onto a platter and back to cool directly on the cooling rack, 20 more minutes, before slicing and serving.

Anybody try this yet? I am wondering if it could be made with applesauce instead of oil?

Hi Jenn, generally we don’t recommend using applesauce instead of oil – the texture might be all wrong – but if you do give it a try, please let us know how it turned out.

I made this last night in mini heart shaped pans. I left them covered and on the counter for all of my daughters to find for Valentine’s Day. They loved them. So did I. I wish I could include a picture!!

Jenn, you can try using organic unrefined coconut oil.. the yogurt and jam will already make the cake moist, so if you’re wanting a healthy option, use the coconut oil :) plus it’ll make it taste a little extra sweet and won’t have any oil taste.

Hi Stephanie, yay! We’re so glad you liked it! Whipped cream and fresh raspberries sound amazing.

Hi Susan, probably – but we haven’t tried it so don’t know the ratio.

I like to substitute applesauce too but they are right. coconut oil is a good substitute and extremely healthy for you also.
