- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2/3 cup sugar

- In a large bowl, beat shortening and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in chocolate and vanilla.
- Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine the sour cream, milk and yogurt; add to the shortening mixture alternately with dry ingredients, beating well after each addition.
- Line two 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper; coat pans with cooking spray and sprinkle with flour. Add the batter.
