Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 cup Hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, instant coffee granules, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, white vinegar, and hot water until smooth and well blended.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Mix until just combined and no lumps remain, but do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar or serve with fresh berries, if desired. Enjoy your fat-free chocolate mocha cake!
