Dukan Chocolate Cake

This cake is an easy, tasty and quick to make, Dukan-friendly treat.



What You'll Need:

  • Round cake pan, or two small ramekins (as shown in the above picture)
  • Two medium-sized mixing bowls
  • 8 Tbsp of oatbran
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup sugar substitute, like Ideal - a xylitol-based sweetener
  • 3 Tbsp of sugar-free chocolate powder (I use the Ghirardelli kind you can get in the Netherlands)
  • 1 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt (you can also sub in non-fat quark, or vanilla-flavoured non-fat yogurt. I use non-fat Greek yogurt as it is usually thicker and makes the cake more moist...yes, I hate that word, too ;)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 eggs 
What You'll Do:
  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C (or 350F)
  • Get two medium-sized bowls ready
  • In one bowl, mix together your dry ingredients until fully combined - oatbran, baking powder, sweetener, chocolate powder
  • In the other bowl, mix in your yogurt/quark, vanilla then your 4 eggs (I will usually crack them one by one in a separate little container, like the measuring cup I just used, to ensure each egg is good before I add them into the larger mixture)
  • Mix the liquid mixture thoroughly until it is a consistent colour and texture
  • Add the liquid mix into the dry mix and stir until smooth 
  • Pour the combined mix into the chosen containers, filling to about 3/4 full
  • Let bake for 12-18 minutes, or until cooked through - my oven runs hot, so 15 minutes works for me, but start checking in on them at the 12 minute mark
  • I think these taste the nicest hot - as the middle is still a little gooey...yum!
You can serve these with a dollop of fat-free cream cheese on top, or a fat free vanilla yogurt. Delicious!
