SUBSTITUTION NOTES
* Not yet tested in our kitchen, but a reader suggested that you may substitute ⅓ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce for the 2 Eggs. We also recommend adding 1 Tablespoon Psyllium Husk Powder to the Dry Mix if you do.
This Cake Batter can also be used to make Chocolate Cupcakes. You will need to adjust your baking time accordingly. Typically 18-22 minutes, but test with toothpick before removing from oven.
