A healthy and very tasty diet cake for anyone who needs it! 😲👆FLOUR-FREE, SUGAR-FREE AND FAT-FREE!

By Lesia

It’s challenging to create a cake that is completely flour-free, sugar-free, and fat-free, while still being tasty. However, we can make a delicious and healthy “cake-like” dessert that fits most of those criteria. Here’s a recipe that focuses on natural sweetness, fiber, and healthy protein:

Ingredients:

  • Base:
    • 4 ripe bananas (mashed)
    • 4 eggs
    • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • spices to taste (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc)
  • Optional Toppings/Fillings (choose healthy options):
    • Fresh berries
    • Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
    • Unsweetened nut butter (almond, peanut)
    • A very small amount of sugar free chocolate, for decoration.

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line a cake pan (8-inch or 9-inch) with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
    • Whisk in the eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and baking soda.
    • Add any spices you desire.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
    • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Decorate:
    • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or adding toppings.
    • Add your healthy toppings.

Why This Recipe Works:

  • Flour-Free: The bananas and eggs act as the binding agents, eliminating the need for flour.
  • Sugar-Free (Naturally Sweetened): The ripe bananas and applesauce provide natural sweetness.
  • Reduced Fat: The recipe avoids added fats, relying on the natural moisture of the ingredients.
  • Healthy Ingredients: Bananas provide potassium and fiber, eggs provide protein, and cocoa powder offers antioxidants.

Important Notes:

  • This cake will have a moist and dense texture, rather than a light and fluffy one.
  • It is very important to use ripe bananas.
  • Be mindful of added toppings and fillings, as they can significantly increase the calorie and sugar content.
  • This is not a traditional cake, but a healthy and tasty dessert option.

Enjoy your guilt-free treat!
