Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Grease a 9-inch square metal baking pan and line the bottom with parchment; grease the parchment.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, espresso powder and salt. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, eggs and egg whites at medium-high speed until pale in color, about 3 minutes; whisk in the olive oil. Stir in the zucchini. Stir in the flour mixture and 1 container yogurt alternately in 2 batches. Transfer to the prepared pan.
3. Bake until springy to the touch and a cake tester comes out with moist crumbs, about 35 minutes; let cool slightly. Serve warm with the remaining yogurt.
Tip
A hit of espresso powder deepens the chocolaty taste without adding more calories.
Tip
Heart-healthy extra-virgin olive oil maximizes moistness.
Tip
A tangy yogurt topping makes the cake taste sweeter and replaces sugary frosting.
