Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the wet ingredients, and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy.
Step 5
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, using a spatula to gently combine until just mixed. Take care not to overmix, as this can cause the cake to become dense.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Slice the pound cake into 8 servings and enjoy your low fat gluten-free pound cake!
