With only a few wholesome ingredients — apples, eggs, and cocoa — you can make a moist, chocolaty cake without a single grain of sugar. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert!
Ingredients
4 medium sweet apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, Gala) – naturally sweet and juicy.
4 large eggs – for structure and protein.
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder – deep chocolate flavor without sugar.
1 teaspoon baking powder – for a light rise.
Olive oil – for greasing the baking mold.
Instructions
Prepare the apples
Wash, peel, and core the apples. Cut them into chunks and blend into a smooth purée.
Make the batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple purée, eggs, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Whisk or blend until the mixture is lump-free and silky.
Get the pan ready
Lightly grease a baking pan with olive oil. Pour in the batter and smooth the top.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & enjoy
Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve plain, or with a sprinkle of extra cocoa powder.
