Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until well combined and smooth.
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the wet ingredients, and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, using a spatula to gently combine until just mixed. Take care not to overmix, as this can cause the cake to become dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 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 about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Slice the pound cake into 8 servings and enjoy your low fat gluten-free pound cake!
