How to Make Healthy Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the dark chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy your healthy and delicious chocolate cake!
