Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
100 Calorie Chocolate Cake
A healthy and low fat chocolate cake recipe with no eggs, dairy, or oil required.
Total Time 25 minutes
Yield
- 8 – 9 slices
Ingredients
- 1 cup spelt, white, or gf ap flour
- 6 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp each: baking soda and salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar of choice or xylitol
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
- 1/4 cup yogurt (I like nondairy)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup almond butter, peanut butter, OR allergy-friendly sub
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and grease an 8-in square or round pan. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, optional chips, and sweetener, and stir very well. (
- If your nut butter is not stir-able, gently heat it until stir-able.) In a new bowl, whisk together the nut butter, yogurt, water, and vanilla.
- Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined (don’t over-mix), then pour into the greased pan. Bake 25 minutes or until batter has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out mostly clean. (I like to take it out when it’s still a little undercooked, let it cool, and then set in the fridge overnight.
- This prevents overcooking, and the cake will still firm up nicely as it sits.) If you can wait, I highly recommend not taking a taste until the next day… this cake is so much richer and sweeter after sitting for a day. Trust me!
and as always have a chilled day from the Viking
