- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 stick butter, softened

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a loaf pan with pam. Combine cream cheese ribbon ingredients in a medium bowl and beat until smooth. (Pop bowl in microwave for 10 seconds if cream cheese is too hard). For the cake batter: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, 3 minutes. Add in the egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and yogurt, mixing to combine. Add half the dry ingredients to the wet, stir to combine, and then add the other half. Pour half the batter into the loaf pan and dollop with cream cheese mixture. Using a knife, swirl layers together. Top with remaining batter and smooth with a spatula. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan. Allow to cool completely before cutting, or else cake may fall apart.
