Prep time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Serves: 3
Ingredients
- Almond flour, (120g)
- Whole wheat flour, (60g)
- Unsweetened applesauce, (150g)
- Greek yogurt (unsweetened), (120g)
- Erythritol or stevia (or any preferred sugar substitute), (50g)
- Baking powder, 1 tsp
- Baking soda, ½ tsp
- Ground cardamom, ½ tsp
- Vanilla extract, 1 tsp
- Chopped almonds (for topping), (20g)
Method
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 6-inch round cake pan with a light coating of oil (or use parchment paper) to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cardamom. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together unsweetened applesauce, Greek yoghurt, sugar substitute (erythritol or stevia), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top of the batter, pressing them gently so they adhere.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool.
- Once cooled, slice the cake into 3 servings and enjoy with a cup of herbal tea or a glass of unsweetened almond milk.
