Everyone loves a good moist chocolate cake. This chocolate cake is a great way to use up extra sourdough starter that you may have on hand. Sourdough starter give the cake a lovely texture and just a bit of tang.

You may be surprised at the non-traditional flours called for in this cake recipe. Rye, cocoa, and peanut flours give it a great taste and texture.

I use sourdough starter that had not been fed for a few days. This is called discard or inactive starter. To read more about sourdough starter, read this blog post–It’s all about Sourdough!

This is my little jar of starter–it has made many loaves of bread and is the parent to over 2000 starters that I have shipped or given to people.

There are a number of sugar-free chocolate chips that sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Bake Believe and ChocZero Chocolate Chips are two of the kinds that I do use. Trim Healthy Mama also has stevia sweetened chocolate chips.

Sourdough Chocolate Cake THM E, Sugar-free, Dairy-free

• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons rye flour
• 1/3 cup oat flour
• 1/2 cup de-fatted peanut flour
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Sweetener or Gentle Sweet
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unfed/discard sourdough starter
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon Blackstrap Molasses
• Nonfat Greek Yogurt, Chocolate Syrup, and sugar-free Chocolate Chips
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, whisk together rye, oat, peanut flours, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together starter, almond milk, applesauce, vanilla, eggs, and Blackstrap Molasses together until fairly smooth. Whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
• I will use 4 and 8-ounce canning jars to bake individual servings of cake. This makes a great serving portion control. I add the lids and rings will the jars are still hot.
• 1 teaspoon of sugar-free Chocolate Chips will be 1.5 grams of fat. There is 1 gram of fat per serving of cake from the eggs.

I bake the cakes in small jars for individual servings. After they are baked, I put the lids and rings on to keep them fresh. These store very well.
