  • 100 g unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or ¼ tsp ground vanilla
  • a little neutral oil or parchment paper for the pan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
  • Line a small baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Wash, core, and chop the apples.
  • Blend the apples until smooth.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 20–30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use sweet apples because there is no added sugar.

  • For a milder chocolate flavor, use 70–80 g cocoa powder.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
This velvet apple cocoa fusion cake is a remarkable creation that transforms simple ingredients into a rich, aromatic dessert without relying on flour, milk or added sugar.

As you prepare the batter, you will notice how the apples soften and release their juices, forming a smooth base that replaces traditional dairy and flour with surprising elegance. The method is intentionally simple, allowing even a beginner to achieve a cake that feels refined and thoughtfully crafted. Each step builds towards a texture that is moist, tender and slightly fudgy, offering a unique experience compared to classic chocolate cakes.
