Details

This smooth chocolate cake, infused with the rich, sweet taste of almond butter, will have your guests begging for seconds! This no-fuss cake from The Eat-Clean Diet® Cookbook 2 is ready in under an hour, which leaves you time to enjoy dinner rather than worrying about dessert. 

Ingredients

Eat-Clean Cooking Spray
• 1 cup / 240 ml + 1 Tbsp / 15 ml whole wheat flour
• ½ cup / 120 ml cocoa powder
• ½ cup / 120 ml unrefined turbinado sugar
• 2 Tbsp / 30 ml ground golden roasted flaxseed
• 1 tsp / 5 ml baking powder
• 1 tsp / 5 ml baking soda
• ½ tsp / 2.5 ml sea salt
• 2 egg whites
• ½ cup / 120 ml unsweetened applesauce
• ½ cup / 120 ml low-fat buttermilk
• ¼ cup / 60 ml natural unsalted almond butter
• ½ tsp / 2.5 ml real almond extract
• 1 cup / 240 ml freshly brewed very hot coffee
• 3 Tbsp / 45 ml sliced toasted almonds

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Coat a 9-inch round baking pan with Eat-Clean Cooking Spray and 1 Tbsp / 15 ml whole wheat flour, discarding excess flour.
  2. Whisk together 1 cup / 240 ml flour, cocoa powder, sugar, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in egg whites, applesauce, buttermilk, almond butter and almond extract. Carefully whisk in hot coffee until thoroughly combined. Batter will be thin.
  3. Pour batter into sprayed and floured pan and bake in oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out almost completely clean, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pan to a wire rack. Top with toasted almonds and cut into slices.

    Make this cake!!! It is sooooo yummy! I made it to take to my niece's baby shower and it was devoured in minutes, even sitting next to the store-bought, sugary-icing covered marble cake!

    This was delicious, It you need a creamy topping plain greek yogurt with a little agave is delicious on top!

    Made this after I saw the picture. This has such a rich black color -it makes it 10x more decadent from that alone. I used quinoa and garbanzo/fava bean flours instead and vanilla. I totally forgot the nut butter but I honestly dont miss it. I wonder if it will freeze well because I live alone and this will be a lot.

    I'm definitely going to be making this; but with hazelnut butter instead..I just got so tired of almond everything back in the '70's when the craze first hit, from the irish creams to the coffees & breakfast foods...I'll be sure to get the pure stuff from Whole Foods..and for total decadence, they now sell REAL Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee...I'll be thin! Broke, but thin!!

    Can you make this with any other flour? I am trying to stay away from wheat. Thank you.
