• • Eat-Clean Cooking Spray
• • 1 cup / 240 ml + 1 Tbsp / 15 ml whole wheat flour
• • 1/2 cup / 120 ml cocoa powder
• • 1/2 cup / 120 ml unrefined turbinado sugar
• • 2 Tbsp / 30 ml ground golden roasted flaxseed
• • 1 tsp / 5 ml baking powder
• • 1 tsp / 5 ml baking soda
• • 1/2 tsp / 2.5 ml sea salt
• • 2 egg whites

• • 1 cup / 240 ml freshly brewed very hot coffee

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C. Coat a 9-inch round baking pan with Eat-Clean Cooking Spray and 1 Tbsp / 15 ml whole wheat flour, discarding excess flour.

2. Whisk together 1 cup / 240 ml flour, cocoa powder, sugar, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in egg whites, applesauce, buttermilk, almond butter and almond extract. Carefully whisk in hot coffee until thoroughly combined. Batter will be thin.

3. Pour batter into sprayed and floured pan and bake in oven until a toothpick inserted in center comes out almost completely clean, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pan to a wire rack. Top with toasted almonds and cut into slices.
