Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol (sugar substitute)
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Add the vanilla extract, milk, and granulated erythritol to the wet mixture, and mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Slowly pour in the boiling water, a little at a time, stirring constantly. The batter will become thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, frost with a sugar-free chocolate ganache or enjoy as is!
