Preheat oven to 350ºF & grease 13x9-inch cake pan with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and stevia.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Add wet ingredients to dry until thoroughly combined.
Pour Batter into cake pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (Let the cake cool completely before moving on to the next step.)
Crumble cake in large bowl and mix/mash in raspberry fruit spread until well combined.
Roll mixture into 1" balls and place on a tray covered in parchment paper.
Set cake balls in Freezer for at least 1 hour.
Melt Chocolate in a small sauce pan over very low heat.
Add in vanilla extract and stevia to taste.
Start with a very small amount of stevia, taste, then add more if needed.
Once melted and mixed together, insert lollipop sticks into cake balls and dip into melted chocolate.
Insert into a styrofoam block until cooled.
Final Assembly: Once the cake pops have cooled completely and candy coating has hardened, place a treat bag over each pop and tie with a ribbon.
Store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
