Is there anything better than a gooey, fudgy and super delicious chocolate cake? The answer is just no. But the best thing is that a fudgy, rich and delicious cake doesn’t have to be unhealthy or filled with sugar or butter. This chocolate cake is proof of that! It is made with oat flour, apple sauce, yogurt, some rice or coconut flour, sweetened with stevia, cacao powder and then of course the secret ingredients zucchini! Adding zucchini to baked goods are my favorite. It really brings the baked goods some extra texture but also making it incredibly moist and juicy. Not to mention that you get an extra dose of greens “for free” while eating dessert. This cake comes together in only 5-10 minutes and is perfect to serve both for breakfast, as a healthy afternoon snack or dessert. It is both gluten and sugar free.
A few tips:
- Make sure to squeeze out as much excess water as possible from the zucchini, otherwise it might turn out too wet.
- You can use either rice or coconut flour. I used rice flour in my cake.
- The amount of stevia can be adjusted according to taste.
- Bake it for 17-20 minutes, depending on how fudgy you prefer your cake.
- Let it cool completely before slicing it.
- It is good to store for 4-5 days.
