Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients; flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

In a large bowl crack the eggs and beat slightly. To the eggs add the sugars, applesauce, water, and oil and stir until all combined.

Step 4

Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Don't over-mix.

Step 5

Pour batter in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar over the top of the batter if desired and bake for 35-45 minutes until done. Check cake around 35 minutes, but continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Make sure to not underbake this cake as the middle takes a bit longer to bake due to the high moisture content. It's worth it!

Step 6

When cake is done remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool.

Step 7

Enjoy, warm or room temperature for an incredibly tasty snack. Top with ice cream or whipped cream for a more indulgent dessert. You can't go wrong with this flavorful and moist cake.

Step 8

This cake can be kept covered at room temperature for 2-3 days, but then keep it covered in the fridge after that if you happen to have any remaining. It's quite delicious straight from the fridge as well. :) I think this cake improves in flavor and texture on day 2 and 3, but that doesn't stop me from really enjoying this cake every day it's in our house!
