12 servings
For the cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way. - 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
Ingredient noteCooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked applesauce in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid applesauce, tap it and change its rating to Red.
