Note
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Just three ingredients: No long shopping list or complicated preparation.
- No regular flour: Cocoa, apple, and eggs make up the entire batter.
- No added sugar: The apple provides natural sweetness, although the cake still contains naturally occurring sugars.
- Blender-friendly: Blend the ingredients together for quick preparation.
- Easy to customize: Add walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds for extra crunch.
Extra Notes
- Choose a sweet apple: A ripe, naturally sweet apple helps balance the bitterness of unsweetened cocoa.
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder: Sweetened drinking chocolate will change the recipe and add sugar.
- Adjust the cocoa if needed: Forty grams gives a pronounced chocolate flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, you can try reducing it slightly, although the texture may change.
- Choose the right baking pan: A smaller pan will give you a thicker cake. A very large pan may make it thin and dry.
- Check before removing it: The center should be set rather than liquid. Start checking around 25 minutes, as ovens and pans vary.
- Let it cool: The cake is delicate when hot and becomes firmer as it cools.
- Optional toppings: Chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds work well. Remember that nuts will increase the calories.
- Gluten-free note: The main ingredients are naturally gluten-free, but check product labels for possible cross-contamination if necessary.
