How to Make Chocolate Zucchini Cake Diabetic Friendly

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or stevia), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 cups grated zucchini.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting and slicing.
  8. Serve with a dollop of low-fat dairy-free whipped topping and fresh berries.
