Sugar-free Chocolate & Ginger Cake

Yields1 ServingPrep Time10 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time40 mins

This glorious chocolate cake is better than any other chocolate cake you’ll have ever had! Not only is it much healthier than supermarket-bought treats (sweetener and spices give this cake the sweet kick you expect) but it also tastes much lighter yet still indulgent – that’s thanks to the thick natural yogurt in place of butter and the raw unsweetened cocoa powder.

Sugar free Chocolate & Ginger Cake

 2 cups all-purpose flour or almond flour for Celiacs
 2/3 cup cocoa powder (Try the raw stuff for a great rich flavor)
 1 tbsp ginger ground
 1/2 tsp nutmeg
 1/2 tsp baking soda
 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
 1/4 tsp salt
 1 1/2 cups yogurt natural, fat and sugar free varieties
 1 cup sugar substitute
 1/2 cup cooking oil
 2 eggs
 1 tsp crystallized ginger
 1 tsp vanilla essence
 1 tsp Natvia icing sugar sugar-free
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees or 180c and grease and line a deep round baking tin.

2

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, soda, ground ginger and salt.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt, sweetener, oil, eggs, crystallised ginger and vanilla.

4

Combine the two bowls together and beat until well mixed.

5

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the top starts to brown and the edges start to come away.

6

Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes once it is fully cooked, then turn out onto a plate, and sprinkle with the icing sugar.

7

I sometimes squeeze a little of lemon juice and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top too, but that’s entirely optional.
