1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until fully combined.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
4
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6
Cool and Serve
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
