Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour I used white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup granulated sweetener of choice * See notes
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp oil any neutral flavored oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp vinegar white or apple cider
- 1 cup milk of choice I used unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting Optional ** See notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix well. Add the wet ingredients and mix until a thick and smooth batter remains.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake for 27-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely, before adding the frosting.
Notes
* I used swerve brown sugar, but any granulated sweetener can be used.** For a healthy cream cheese frosting, beat 1 cup non-fat cream cheese with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until light and fluffy.
