Ingredients
- 160 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened applesauce
- 240 milliliters Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, low-fat buttermilk, large egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 5
Slowly add the hot water to the batter, mixing until the batter is smooth. The batter will be quite thin, which is normal.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 9
Once cooled, you can dust the top with a little powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt for an added touch.
