Never Know It's Good For You Chocolate Cake
- 1 1/3 cup All purpose Flour ( or use half white, half wholewheat flour)
- 1 1/2 cup Soft brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/3 cup Apple sauce, preferably unsweetened and smooth
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 cup Grated zucchini
- 3 tbsp sunflower or olive oil
- Preheat oven to 350F or 170c fan oven.
- Spray a 9 inch Bundt tin with non-stick cake release spray
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- So, add flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, spices, salt and cocoa powder and stir to combine.
- Add applesauce, eggs and vanilla.
- Lastly stir in grated zucchini.
- Pour into the prepared tin and place in oven.
- Bake for about an hour.
- Check two thirds of the way through and cover top with aluminium foil if it is getting too brown and crispy.
- I check every few minute after 50 minutes with a skewer inserted into the middle to check for doneness .
- The skewer should come out clean with only a couple of crumbs attached.
- This is a very moist, clean tasting chocolatey chocolate cake.
- My family never guessed it was fat free and contained fruit and veg.
- I just added a topping of Glace Icing made with powdered sugar and water with cocoa to taste.
- Enjoy
- Please note that I originally posted this recipe omitting the oil.
- I apologise for this oversight.
