Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 10 inch fluted cake pan by spraying with baking spray (or using the homemade version mentioned above).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil, applesauce, orange juice, vanilla and zest. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix on medium low, just until combined.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4

Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before gently removing from pan onto a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, carefully place cake on a cake stand and top with sifted powdered sugar. Enjoy!
