Mix in the yogurt/milk mixture. Make sure the batter isn't too hot- then add in eggs and vanilla. Pour into greased 13x9 baking pan and bake for 25-28 minutes. While that bakes, mix up the frosting- dissolve the cocoa powder and espresso powder into the milk and vanilla. Whip with the greek yogurt vigorously. Add in the powdered sugar and whip well. Place in fridge for 30 minutes (after the cake comes out let it cool for a while!). When cake has cooled for a few, pull out frosting, re-whip briefly, frost and serve! You should keep leftovers in the fridge. Serving Size: Makes 18 servings.Number of Servings: 18Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LOTUS737.
