Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Non-dairy milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Stevia extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure the matcha is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, non-dairy milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and stevia extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center 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 before serving.
Optionally, dust the top with a little extra matcha powder for a lovely finish.
