This is my go to cake when I want something decadent but not fussy. The combination of rich chocolate with a surprising hit of salt is absolutely addictive, and honestly, it comes together in under an hour. I love using Greek yogurt here because it keeps the cake incredibly moist while adding a touch of protein, so it feels a bit more wholesome than your typical cake. The best part? This recipe is straightforward enough that you can have it baking before you've even finished your morning coffee. No fancy techniques required, just mix, pour, and let your oven do the work.
