Part 2/6:
Unsweetened Applesauce: A fantastic substitute for eggs and fat.
Plant Milk: Walnut milk is recommended, but feel free to use any milk of your choice.
Apple Cider Vinegar: This ingredient helps create a light and fluffy texture.
Date Syrup: A natural sweetener that eliminates the need for refined sugars.
Cocoa Powder and Vanilla Bean Powder: These provide rich flavors. Note that vanilla bean powder enhances the taste more than extract.
Baking Soda and Baking Powder: Essential for leavening the cake.
As a reminder, you can adjust the quantities if you prefer a single-layer cake.
