Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional, sugar-free or dairy-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch round or square baking pan with parchment paper, or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Whisk to ensure there are no clumps and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are slightly frothy.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the eggs. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. If using chocolate chips, gently stir them in at the end.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 9

Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped coconut cream for an extra treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
