Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup Erythritol or Xylitol sweetener
• 2 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and erythritol sweetener. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the applesauce mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Add the Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

Step 6

Alternately add the flour mixture and almond milk in batches to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not over mix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Frost with your favorite sugar-free frosting once the cakes are completely cool. Serve and enjoy!
