Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
- 120 grams non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, applesauce, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and whisk gently until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Slowly pour the hot water into the batter, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and slightly runny.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, dust with a little extra cocoa powder or powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing and serving.
