Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia or Erythritol)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar substitute, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk) and water to the wet ingredients, and stir until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan, and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 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.
Enjoy your Easy Diabetic Chocolate Cake as is, or garnish with fresh berries or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an extra treat!
