Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup granulated sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling (ensure it’s vegan or use a reduced-sugar version)
  • Light whipped topping
  • Fresh cherries
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and granulated sweetener until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
  5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cooling: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. Assembly: Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of cherry pie filling over the top. Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the filling.
  8. Garnish: Decorate the top of the cake with light whipped topping, fresh cherries, and a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
  9. Serving: Slice and serve your  Black Forest Cake with pride, savoring each delightful bite guilt-free.
