Vegan Chocolate Applesauce Cake

Jolinda Hackett
This low-fat and vegan cake recipe uses applesauce instead of eggs or oil, making it nearly fat-free and guilt-free! Though its a little bit heavier than other cakes, the generous amount of cocoa makes this vegan cake absolutely heavenly.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup cocoa
  • 1 1/2 cups applesauce

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan. Note: You can use other cake pans, but because this cake is a bit heavy, layered cake pans are not recommended.

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

Add applesauce and mix well until batter is smooth.

Bake for 50-55 minutes, until done. You can always tell that a cake is finished baking by sticking a toothpick in the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, that is, not covered in batter, then your cakes is done baking.

Frost, if desired, and enjoy!
