Quick Apple Chocolate Cake with No Flour and No Milk
A moist chocolate apple cake made with apples, eggs, and cocoa powder. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and without added sugar if vanilla extract is used instead of vanilla sugar.
- 2 medium apples about 300–350 g whole
- 2 eggs medium or large
- 100 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or ¼ tsp ground vanilla
- a little neutral oil or parchment paper for the pan
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.
Add the eggs and vanilla, then blend again.
Add the cocoa powder in portions and blend 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.
- Use sweet apples because there is no added sugar.
- Use unsweetened baking cocoa, not drinking chocolate.
- Do not overbake; the cake should stay moist.
- For a milder chocolate flavor, use 70–80 g cocoa powder.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
