• 0.25 cups Low-fat milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar, stirring until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the low-fat milk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve!
