Low Calorie Chocolate Cake

This Low Calorie Chocolate Cake is just 108 calories, and that includes both layers and the frosting too!

I also made this healthy chocolate cake low carb, and slow sugar.

Special Tip: I used my low calorie chocolate frosting to keep the calories low. You will need 1 cup, which is about 1/2 batch of the skinny frosting.

Equipment

2 round 9-inch pans
Mixer (countertop or handheld)

Ingredients

2 cups blanched almond flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 cup All-Natural Zero Calorie Sugar or sugar of your choice
2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Low Calorie Chocolate Frosting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease 9-inch pans with coconut oil.
In a large bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix and set aside.
In a standing mixer, or large bowl with handheld mixer, combine the apple sauce, sugar, and oil. Whisk together.
While whisking on low speed, add in the eggs one at a time.
Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients slowly, until just combined.
Divide the batter between the two prepared pans.
Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool completely in the fridge for 2 hours, then remove cakes from the pans (place a plate securely over the top of the cake, flip and allow the cake to gently slide out.)
OPTIONAL STEP: Trim off the rounded tops of the cakes so that you have a level surface.
Put out a clean cake plate, add the first cake. Smooth 1/3 cup of the frosting over the top of the cake.
Top with the second cake, and repeat smoothing with 1/3 cup frosting.
Use the remaining 1/3 cup frosting to frost the sides.
Slice into 12 servings and serve.
