Ingredients

• 120 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
• 120 grams Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
• 50 grams Honey
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Skim milk (or almond milk)
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional, for flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 7-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the wet ingredients: unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, egg whites, vanilla extract, and skim milk. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 8

Slice into 8 equal portions and enjoy your light and fluffy diet cake. Serve as is or with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt and fresh berries for extra flavor!
