Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 0.75 cup granulated erythritol (sugar substitute)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated erythritol until frothy. Add the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter, and mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving. Slice and enjoy your Sugar-Free Classic Spice Cake.
