A delicious chocolate cake made with ground almonds and applesauce.

Servings

0.33 cup white all purpose flour
0.33 cup ground almonds
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp low sodium baking powder
0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs
3 egg whites
1.25 cup sweetener (sugar substitute)
2 tbsp walnut oil
0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tbsp instant coffee granules , dissolved in 1/8 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a long loaf pan with baking paper.
2 Sift the flour. Add the almonds, fround almonds, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa. Set aside.
3 Beat the egg yolks with the oil, gradually adding half the sugar substitute, until thick and lemon-colored.
4 Beat the egg whites with the rest of the sugar substitute.
5 Using a spatula, gently fold the egg mixtures together. Fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with the applesauce and coffee. Stir in the vanilla.
6 Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean.

For low-carbers who would like to enjoy the same type of cake, just omit the applesauce and add an additional 1/3 cup of liquid (coffee, soy milk, etc.) and an additional 1/3 cup oil.
