Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (or Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)
- ¼ cup stevia or erythritol (or preferred sugar substitute)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce (or yogurt), stevia (or erythritol), almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil (or butter). Make sure everything is well blended. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth batter. - Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. You can frost it with sugar-free frosting, whipped cream, or enjoy it as is!
Optional Add-ins:
- Add ½ cup of sugar-free chocolate chips for extra richness.
- Mix in a teaspoon of instant coffee powder for a mocha flavor.
