Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour (or coconut flour for a gluten-free option)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or mashed bananas for a sweeter option)
• 1/4 cup stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or any sugar substitute of your choice
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or butter for a richer flavor)
• 1/4 cup brewed coffee (optional, enhances the chocolate flavor)

For the frosting (optional but recommended):

• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons stevia or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Equipment:

• 9-inch round cake pan (or similar size)
• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Hand mixer or stand mixer (optional)
• Rubber spatula
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cooling rack
• Small saucepan (for frosting)
• Parchment paper (for lining the cake pan)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and prepare the pan

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides with coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray. This ensures the cake won’t stick to the pan while baking.
