Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Splenda granular (or similar sugar substitute)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup buttermilk (low-fat or fat-free)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the Splenda granular to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, stirring gently. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 32 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 it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optional: Dust with additional Splenda or garnish with fresh berries for added sweetness and presentation!
