Apple Cider Cake

Ok friends, I have another AMAZING recipe to share with you today!! I'm really excited about this because it was a recipe for cookies that I tweaked and made my own. Oh, and turned it into cake!

Recipe for Apple Cider Cake:

1 cup xylitol (or whatever sugar substitute you prefer)
1 (4 oz) container of unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup apple cider
3 egg white
2 1/2 cups oat flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 medium apples, peeled and diced
3/4 cups almonds, chopped

1. Beat xylitol and apple sauce. Add cider and egg, beat until smooth.

2. At low speed, gradually blend in flour, cinnamon, soda and salt.

3. Stir in apples and almonds.

4. Pour into greased 9x9 round cake pan.

5. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. Depending on the oven, check it at 20 minutes.

YUMMY!

You can even make a cider glaze if you are feeling a bit naughty :-)

Combine 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp cider until smooth. Pour over cake.

Now, imagine if you added some vanilla protein powder in place of some of the flour? You'd have even more protein! I might have to try this next time.

Enjoy!
