I make this cake with my recipe for homemade applesauce. I have the link to the recipe n the instructions below. You can use jarred applesauce as well. This cake is moist and has a great mix of spices in it. I also use organic coconut palm sugar for the brown sugar, but regular light brown sugar will work fine too. We eat it without any frosting but you could add a glaze or top it with confectioners sugar.Sometimes we drizzle a little pure maple syrup over it! I hope you try this cake and enjoy it as much as our family does!

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice, ground

How To Make applesauce cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray, I also add a layer of Baker's Joy spray to keep the cake from sticking. Just make sure the pan is coated well.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Mix in coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar). Stir ingredients to blend them well.
Step 3

In a medium bowl lightly beat eggs and add other wet ingredients. Blend well.
Step 4

Combine wet and dry ingredients into large bowl. Mix just until combined, do not over mix.
Step 5

Put batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth to even out batter. Bake in the center of the oven for 40-45 minutes. Ovens vary so test at 40 minutes to see if toothpick comes out clean, add 5 minute intervals as needed.
Step 6

Cool cake for 10 minutes before turning it onto a plate for serving.
