Vegetarian Dessert Recipe: Guiltless Applesauce Cake
Yummy vegan low fat applesauce spice cake for your snacking pleasure
This very moist applesauce cake uses almost no fat, no refined sugar and no salt. It's a satisfying and delicious guilt free treat.
This is a variation on an applesauce cake recipe from the 'Pritikin 28 Day Diet Book.', shared by our friend Carolyn after we enthusiastically munched it at her house.
For a nice variation, add 1/2 cup raisins or chopped walnuts. This cake won't be as low in fat with walnuts, but walnuts are Good Fat!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp all spice
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 cup frozen apple juice concentrate
- 1 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp ground flax seed, beaten with 2 Tbsp water until frothy
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
- Lightly oil a 9" cake pan with vegetable oil

- Stir in the whipped flax seed
