Cake Ingredients:
2 cups (230g) almond flour – packed
1/2 cup (115g) non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup (50g) unsweetened applesauce (to replace some of the butter)
2 large eggs
2/3 cup (120g) sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or a stevia blend)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup (60g) sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or a stevia blend)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp water
Instructions:
Preparing the Canvas:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan, setting the stage for a flawless cake.
Masterful Mixing:
In a mixing bowl, artfully combine almond flour, non-fat Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, sugar substitute, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Blend until a harmonious mixture is achieved.
Baking Brilliance:
Pour the luscious batter into the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even spread. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Syrup Symphony:
While the cake basks in the oven’s warmth, orchestrate the syrup in a small saucepan. Melt light butter (or a suitable substitute) over low heat, adding sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and water. Stir until dissolved and well combined.
Artful Integration:
Once the cake emerges victorious from the oven, while still warm, use a toothpick or fork to create perforations on the surface. Pour the meticulously crafted syrup over the warm cake, ensuring it permeates the holes and blankets the entire surface.
Cooling Elegance:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan, allowing the syrup to gracefully seep into every crumb. The marriage of flavors intensifies during this elegant cooling phase.
A Decorative Touch:
As the cake cools, consider a dusting of powdered sugar substitute for an optional, decorative flourish.
Portion Control Wisdom:
When ready to serve, exercise moderation in portioning, adjusting based on your Weight Watchers plan for a guilt-free experience.
