Ingredients

• 200 grams almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 60 grams poppy seeds
• 150 grams unsweetened applesauce
• 150 grams plain Greek yogurt
• 120 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with a little bit of oil or non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are fully combined.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, beating well after each addition. Continue to whisk until the mixture is slightly frothy.

Step 5

Add the liquid stevia and grated lemon zest to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your sugar-free poppy seed cake!
