ww cream cheese chocolate pound cake

Ingredients:

For the Pound Cake:

• 6 oz fat-free cream cheese
• 6 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sweetener (use a sugar substitute like Stevia or Swerve)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (as a moistening agent)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Chocolate Glaze:

• 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (choose a Weight Watchers-friendly brand)
• 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius) and prepare a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free cream cheese, eggs, granulated sweetener, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to blend these ingredients until they are well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsweetened applesauce, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and blend until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Glaze:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler on the stove.
2. Allow the chocolate glaze to cool for a few minutes, then drizzle it over the cooled pound cake.
3. Slice the cake into 12 equal servings, and enjoy!
