Ingredients

Wet ingredients

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup (nut) milk (120 g) I used unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tbsp oil (14 g) I used avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar (48 g)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry ingredients

  • 1 cup flour, gf all purpose if desired (120 g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Coffee mix

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee

Cream mix

  • 4 oz neufchatel cream cheese* in room temperature (112 g) sub regular cream cheese or mascarpone
  • 1/4 cup greek-style yogurt (60 g) I use 2% Greek yogurt but all kinds should work
  • 2-4 tbsp (nut) milk I used unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)

Dusting

  • 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment.
  • Blend egg, milk, vanilla, sugar, oil together.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
  • Fold the two until no big clumps of flour remains.
  • Pour into baking pan and bake for 20 minutes until the cake is fully baked.
  • While the cake is cooling, prepare the coffee liquid and the cream by beating the softened cream cheese (I used a hand mixer), beating in the yogurt, beating in the milk (use enough milk to make it pourable, I used 4 tbsp but this quantity will depend on how wet your yogurt is), and finally vanilla and sugar until smooth.
  • When the cake has cooled, slice horizontally in two layers.
  • Place first layer down, wet with the coffee liquid (you won’t need all of if, just enough to moisten the cake).
  • Layer with half the cream. Repeat with the second layer, coffee, cream and dust with cocoa and shaved chocolate if you prefer.
  • Let the cake set in the fridge for a few hours at least, ideally overnight. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Neufchatel is just a low fat cream cheese. You can use regular cream cheese if you don’t have access to neufchatel. For a similar macro profile use 3 oz regular cream cheese and increase yogurt by 2 tbsp. Or just use 4 oz cream cheese or mascarpone and don’t sweat it 🙂
