Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup milk of choice (almond, coconut, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid stevia or other sugar-free sweetener
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the unsweetened applesauce, milk, vanilla extract, and liquid stevia. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve the cake as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a sugar-free frosting of your choice.
