 Sugar-Free Vanilla Cake Recipe

 

 Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 1½ cups (180g) almond flour (or whole wheat flour if not gluten-free)

• ½ cup (60g) coconut flour (optional for texture)

• 2 tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs (room temperature)

• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (adds moisture and natural sweetness)

• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)

• ⅓ cup erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia (adjust to taste)

• ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (for extra softness)

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan or loaf tin with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk wet ingredients: eggs, applesauce, almond milk, sweetener, coconut oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Avoid over-mixing.

5. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

 Optional Frosting (Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting):

• ½ cup cream cheese

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

• 1–2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Beat until smooth and spreadable.

✅ Health Benefits:

• Sugar-free: Uses natural sweeteners to reduce blood sugar spikes.

• Lower carb (with almond/coconut flour): Great for keto or diabetic diets.

• Good fats: Coconut oil or almond flour supports heart and brain health.

• Protein-rich: Eggs and Greek yogurt help with satiety and muscle repair.

• Gluten-free option: Suitable for those with gluten sensitivity.

 Tips & Tricks:

• Texture too dense? Add an extra egg white or increase applesauce by 2 tbsp.

• Sweeter taste? Adjust the sweetener to your liking; monk fruit blends taste more like sugar.

• Fluffy cake? Whip the eggs well before mixing into the batter.

• Avoid dryness: Don’t overbake. Almond flour cakes cook faster than wheat-based ones.

• Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freezes well too.

 Variations:

• Add lemon zest for a fresh flavor.

• Mix in berries or chopped nuts.

• Use as a base for layer cakes or cupcakes.
