Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, honey, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top 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 for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake once cooled. Enjoy it plain or with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream if desired.
