Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, sugar-free or dairy-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch round or square baking pan with parchment paper, or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Whisk to ensure there are no clumps and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are slightly frothy.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the eggs. Mix until well combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. If using chocolate chips, gently stir them in at the end.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped coconut cream for an extra treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
