Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour

• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar substitute, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk) and water to the wet ingredients, and stir until fully combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan, and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Enjoy your Easy Diabetic Chocolate Cake as is, or garnish with fresh berries or a light dusting of cocoa powder for an extra treat!
