Chocolate Strawberry Cake Bites

Jacklin Altman
These little bites are everything - rich, creamy, fruity, and so satisfying. Made with a lighter chocolate cake base, Greek yogurt frosting, and a strawberry jam center, they're just 2 WW SP (blue) each, or 4 points for 2, 7 points for 3.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Oven
  • Piping Bag
  • Piping Tips

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Cake
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Canola oil
  • 1 Egg
  • 3/4 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee cooled
Greek Yogurt Frosting
  • 1 cup Nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2.5 tbsp Powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Strawberry Center
  • 1/4 cup Strawberry jam sugar free (I used Smucker's)

Instructions
 

Cake
  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, canola oil, Greek Yogurt and pour into dry mixture. Whisk together to combine.
  • Pour in coffee (should be room temp so it doesn’t cook the egg) and whisk entire mixture until you have a uniform batter.
  • Pour into a greased or lined mini cupcake pan, filling each cup roughly halfway. I like to use silicone baking cups to make life easier- no greasing required!
  • Bake for 11-15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
  • Strain the Greek Yogurt well through a cheesecloth or paper towels until the consistency is similar to a cream cheese. More details on this recipe.
  • Add strained greek yogurt to bowl and mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  • If you prefer it sweeter, add powdered sugar a tbsp at a time and a bit more vanilla (1 tsp for 1 cup of yogurt). Correct thin frosting by removing liquid and adding powdered sugar as necessary.
Assembly
  • Once your cupcakes are completely cool, pipe a ring of Greek Yogurt Frosting around the outside of each cupcake, creating a well in the center.
  • Fill each well with 1/2 tsp of strawberry jam.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
