Flourless Chocolate Cake
Serves: 8
This cake is so very chocolately with a soft dense texture! If you are looking for something that is full of chocolate then this is definitely the way to go! I have removed the butter to lower the fat and calories immensely! Mmmmm…….! ?
Fit Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c (120g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 large eggs, divided
- 12 tbs (6+6) splenda (or granular sweetener of choice)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbs chocolate extract
- 3/4 c unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 c unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of choice)
***********************************************************
- 9-in spring form pan
- non stick spray
**********************************************************
Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Spray your spring foam pan with non stick spray. Mix your cocoa powder, applesauce and milk together in a bowl. Mixture will be thick so ensure that you mix it well! In a separate bowl beat your egg yolks with 6tbs splenda, vanilla & chocolate extracts. Mix your cocoa mixture into your egg whites. In a third bowl, beat your egg whites and remaining 6 tbs splenda until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture a 1/4 at a time until fully incorporated. Pour your batter into your pan and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cake sit in pan for 30 minutes. (Your cake will fall and shrink! Don’t think you did something wrong!) Remove cake from pan and allow to fully cool before serving.
Sprinkle with confectionary sugar (or mock confectionary sugar, i.e, splenda/stevia turned to powder in a food processor), whipped cream or berries!
