Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan with cooking spray or coconut oil. Set aside.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure a light and airy texture.
-
Taste the batter and adjust sweetness by adding your preferred sugar substitute, such as stevia, until you reach your desired level of sweetness.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice and serve your Basic Sugar-Free Sponge Cake on its own or topped with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert or snack!
