Here’s a recipe for a Healthy & Moist Sugar-Free Cake—sweetened naturally and still tender and delicious:
Healthy & Moist Sugar-Free Cake
Ingredients (8–10 servings)
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup natural sweetener (like erythritol, stevia blend, or monk fruit sweetener; adjust to taste)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts, raisins, or sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pan.
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix wet ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together applesauce, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla, and almond milk.
- Stir in the sweetener until combined.
- Combine
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in any optional add-ins like nuts or raisins.
- Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve
- Let cake cool 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Optional: top with sugar-free frosting, Greek yogurt glaze, or fresh berries.
Tips
- Moistness: Applesauce and Greek yogurt keep the cake tender and moist.
- Sweeteners: Adjust natural sweeteners to taste; some (like stevia) are much sweeter than sugar.
- Variations: Add cocoa powder for a chocolate version or orange zest for citrus flavor.
I can also provide a sugar-free carrot cake version that’s naturally sweet, moist, and full of flavor 🥕🍰.
Do you want that version too?
