Apple & Chocolate "Magic" Cake - Healthy Diet Recipes World

2-Ingredient Base: Apple & Chocolate “Magic” Cake

Sugar-Free, Flourless, and Dairy-Free

4 Medium Sweet Apples: (Like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp) peeled, cored, and sliced.
4 Large Eggs: At room temperature.
5 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Sifted to ensure a smooth batter.
1 tsp Baking Powder: To give the cake its lift.
Olive Oil: Just a small amount for greasing the baking mold.

Steam the Apples: Place your sliced apples in a steamer or a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Cook until they are very soft and fork-tender (about 8–10 minutes). Drain any excess liquid.
Puree: Place the softened apples into a blender or food processor. Blend until you have a completely smooth apple puree. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs instantly.
Combine: Add the 4 eggs, cocoa powder, and baking powder directly into the blender with the apple puree.
Final Blend: Blend on medium speed until the mixture is uniform, dark, and glossy.
Prepare the Mold: Lightly grease a 6 or 7-inch baking tin or silicone mold with a little olive oil.
Bake: Pour the batter into the mold.
- Oven Method: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes.
- Air Fryer Method: Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 25–30 minutes.
The Test: Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
The Setting Phase: This is the most important part! Let the cake cool completely in the mold, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight). This allows the natural fibers to set into a fudgy, truffle-like consistency.

High Fiber: The apples provide bulk and fiber, which helps you feel full without the heavy calories of flour.
Natural Sweetness: By using sweet apple varieties, you eliminate the need for any added sugars or artificial sweeteners.
Metabolic Boost: Pure cocoa is rich in antioxidants and can help satisfy chocolate cravings without the insulin spike.
