Ingredients
self-rising flour
1 3/4 cups (sifted)
salt
1/8 teaspoon (to taste)
vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 cup (at room temperature)
white sugar
2 cups (granulated)
unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the self-rising flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and water (or milk), and continue mixing until well incorporated.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula if needed.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the pans from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
