Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Hot water
- 3 large Egg whites
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Stir in the hot water slowly until the batter is smooth and glossy.
In a separate clean bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate them.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
