Moist chocolate, gingerbread cake


Dry: 250g all purpose flour ( I used spelt flour and whole grain spelt flour), 80g raw cacao, 20g grounded nuts (almonds or hazelnuts for example), 1/2 tsp baking soda (Natron), 1,5 tsp baking powder, 1 pinch of salt, 2 tsp gingerbread spice ( cinnamon, cloves...).

Wet: 300g apple sauce ( unsweetened), 25ml rapseed oil, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, ~ 100-200ml plant milk ( dough should be a little sticky, not too liquid), flavedrops or other sweetener( 50-80g coconut sugar).

Mix wet and dry ingredients in seperate bowls first, then pour them together and mix it well. Spread the dough in a round baking form ( prepared with baking paper or oil). Bake in the pre-heated oven (180°C/350°F) for 60-90 min, depending on your form and oven. Prepare your frosting, decorate it and enjoy.
