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 whole wheat pastry flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, nonfat Greek yogurt, skim milk, pure vanilla extract, and granulated sugar substitute until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
