Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Brewed coffee (room temperature)
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by lightly greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
Slowly stir in the brewed coffee and low-fat milk until the batter is smooth and pourable.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 28–30 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 before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain or garnish with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or a dollop of low-fat whipped cream for a delightful finish!
