🎂 Sugar-Free Vanilla Cake Recipe

Here’s a complete recipe for a Vanilla Sugar-Free Cake, including health benefits, tips, and tricks for the best outcome.

🎂 Sugar-Free Vanilla Cake Recipe

 

🍰 Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups (180g) almond flour (or whole wheat flour if not gluten-free)

  • ½ cup (60g) coconut flour (optional for texture)

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (adds moisture and natural sweetness)

  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)

  • ⅓ cup erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia (adjust to taste)

  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (for extra softness)

🥣 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan or loaf tin with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, mix dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk wet ingredients: eggs, applesauce, almond milk, sweetener, coconut oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Avoid over-mixing.

  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  6. Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

🍯 Optional Frosting (Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting):

  • ½ cup cream cheese

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

  • 1–2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • Beat until smooth and spreadable.

Health Benefits:

  • Sugar-free: Uses natural sweeteners to reduce blood sugar spikes.

  • Lower carb (with almond/coconut flour): Great for keto or diabetic diets.

  • Good fats: Coconut oil or almond flour supports heart and brain health.

  • Protein-rich: Eggs and Greek yogurt help with satiety and muscle repair.

  • Gluten-free option: Suitable for those with gluten sensitivity.

💡 Tips & Tricks:

  • Texture too dense? Add an extra egg white or increase applesauce by 2 tbsp.

  • Sweeter taste? Adjust the sweetener to your liking; monk fruit blends taste more like sugar.

  • Fluffy cake? Whip the eggs well before mixing into the batter.

  • Avoid dryness: Don’t overbake. Almond flour cakes cook faster than wheat-based ones.

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freezes well too.

🍴 Variations:

  • Add lemon zest for a fresh flavor.

  • Mix in berries or chopped nuts.

  • Use as a base for layer cakes or cupcakes.
