🥣 INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium sweet apples (Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala)
- 4 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Olive oil (for greasing the mold)
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a baking mold or line it with parchment paper. - Prepare Apples
Peel, core, and grate the apples or blend them into a smooth puree. - Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the grated apples or apple puree and mix well. - Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the cocoa powder and baking powder. Mix until fully combined and smooth. - Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared mold. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool & Serve
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy as is, or top with a light drizzle of dark chocolate (optional).
💡 TIPS
- Use naturally sweet apple varieties for best flavor.
- Blend apples for a smoother texture, grate them for a slightly chunkier cake.
- Let the cake cool fully — it firms up as it cools.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For extra richness, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract.
