Instructions
1
Prepare oven and dry mix
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan to get it ready. In a medium bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt until everything is combined.
2
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
In a larger bowl, whisk together the brewed coffee and espresso powder. Then add the Greek yogurt, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Repeat with the rest of the dry ingredients, then gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
3
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and set it on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Once done, let the cake cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes.
4
Loosen and Remove Pan
Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake, then remove the sides of the pan. Let it cool completely for another 15 to 30 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
