Ingredients
4 medium sweet apples
4 large eggs
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a baking pan with olive oil.
Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into chunks. Place them in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth like a puree.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs well until slightly frothy. Add the apple puree and mix until combined.
Add the cocoa powder and baking powder. Stir everything together until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool before slicing.
Method
This recipe uses the natural sweetness of apples instead of sugar, while cocoa gives it a rich chocolate flavor. The eggs help bind everything and create a soft, cake-like texture.
