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.
