Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Liquid stevia
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and liquid stevia. Beat the mixture until well combined.
Add the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped cherries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake as is, or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream sweetened with stevia if desired.
