• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Hot water
• 3 large Egg whites

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Stir in the hot water slowly until the batter is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

In a separate clean bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate them.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
