Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Erythritol or Xylitol sweetener
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and erythritol sweetener. Whisk until well mixed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the applesauce mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
Alternately add the flour mixture and almond milk in batches to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not over mix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite sugar-free frosting once the cakes are completely cool. Serve and enjoy!
