Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour I used white whole wheat flour
1 cup keto brown sugar * See notes
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons oil any neutral flavored oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon vinegar white or apple cider
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
1 cup cream cheese frosting Optional ** See notes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, keto brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and mix well. Add the vinegar, applesauce, oil, and milk, and mix until a thick and smooth batter remains.
Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake for 27-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely, before adding the frosting.

Notes

* Any granulated sweetener works

** For a healthy cream cheese frosting, beat 1 cup non-fat cream cheese with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until light and fluffy.
