Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 120 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 120 grams Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 80 grams Honey or maple syrup
- 60 ml Low-fat milk (or plant-based milk)
- 50 grams Grated carrot (optional for extra moistness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch round or square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg whites, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Gradually stir in the low-fat milk (or plant-based milk) until the batter reaches a smooth consistency. If desired, fold in the grated carrot for added flavor and moisture.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out with a spatula or spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into 8 equal servings and enjoy a luscious, low-calorie piece of spice cake! Optionally, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a dusting of powdered sugar for presentation.
