This healthy applesauce cake is extra moist, easy, and packed with cozy spices! Old-fashioned flavor that&#039;s perfect for dessert or afternoon treats.

Applesauce Cake

golden raisins

bourbon*

all-purpose flour

whole wheat flour

baking powder

baking soda

salt

cinnamon

nutmeg

cloves

(1 stick) unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)

brown sugar

honey

vanilla extract

eggs

applesauce

pecans

cream cheese (softened to room temperature)

unsalted butter (softened)

bourbon (or milk)

kosher salt

sugar

Grease

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F with rack in middle. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square cake pan or 8-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Heat

In a small bowl, place the raisins and bourbon. Cover and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds (or you can heat on a small saucepan on the stove). Set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes.

Whisk

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Beat

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla on high speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl once or twice as needed.

Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition until fully incorporated. The batter will look curdled, which is absolutely fine.

Beat in the applesauce, stopping as soon as it is combined.

Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour, stopping as soon as it disappears.

Fold

By hand with a rubber spatula, fold in the raisins with their liquid and the pecans.

Bake

Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 32 to 38 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

Cool

With a dull knife, loosen the edges of the cake from the pan, then unmold it and place it on the rack, dome-side up, to finish cooling completely. (I like to invert from the pan onto a plate, then re-invert it back onto the cooling rack). Let cool completely.

Frost

Make the frosting: In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place the cream cheese, butter, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Reduce the mixer speed to low, then slowly add the powdered sugar. Once the sugar has been incorporated, stop and scrape down the sides, then beat a bit more, until combined and creamy. Spread over the top of the cooled cake (I leave the sides bare). Enjoy!

An Applesauce Cake that is light, airy and egg-free. This one-bowl vegan cake recipe takes fewer than 10 ingredients and just 10 minutes of active time to assemble, meaning a delicious dessert is never far from reach!

Applesauce Cake Recipe

all-purpose flour (- 185 grams)

Applesauce (- unsweetened)

oil (- use oil which has

sugar (or regular white sugar)

vanilla vanilla powder

apple cider vinegar (or regular vinegar or lemon juice)

In a mixing bowl, take applesauce, oil and sugar.

With a wired whisk, stir this mixture so well that the oil is incorporated evenly.

Now add the apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar or lemon juice to this wet mixture.

Preheat the oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F before you begin baking the cake.

Sieve the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt directly in the bowl having the wet ingredients.

Add vanilla powder or scraped vanilla bean or vanilla extract.

Fold the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients lightly. Don't over do.

The batter should feel light.

Pour the batter in the prepared pan.

Bake at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 mins.

Once baked and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, remove the cake from the pan after it cools a bit and then place on a wired rack or tray for the sponge cake to cool down.

Each oven has a different baking time, so keep this in mind. The cake can take less or more time in your oven to bake.

Slice and serve this eggless cake with milk, tea or coffee.

This ultra-soft, super moist applesauce cake recipe is full of warm spices and has a wonderful, subtle apple flavor throughout. It&#39;s simple, comforting, and so, so easy to make.

Easy Applesauce Cake Recipe

cornstarch

1½ tsps baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1½ tsps ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp ground cloves

eggs (room temperature)

unflavoured vegetable oil (I use canola oil)

milk (room temperature)

tsps vanilla extract/essence

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃) conventional (see note 2 if using a convection oven). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch cake pan and line it lengthways with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides so it is easy to lift out later. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. Using a whisk, mix until well combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the light brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, applesauce, milk, and vanilla. Using a whisk, mix until smooth and well combined.

Add the pre-sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and, using a spatula, gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix and only fold until you no longer see any streaks of flour. The batter may look slightly lumpy, but that&#39;s perfectly fine as long as there aren&#39;t any large clumps.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it into an even layer. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any large air bubbles.

Bake for 25–27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Run a thin knife along the edges without parchment, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack and remove the parchment paper (see video for the easiest way to flip the cake). If desired, flip it back over so it is right side up to avoid wire rack marks on the surface. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar, slicing, and serving. Enjoy!

The softest cake you'll ever make! Easy APPLESAUCE cake

This Applesauce Bundt Cake is soft, moist, and spiced just right, the kind of cake that feels nostalgic but still wows at the table. The applesauce keeps every bite tender for days, while the rich butterscotch frosting slowly drips down and clings to the ridges of the cake. Simple to bake, beautiful to serve, and impossible to stop slicing into.

Old-Fashioned Applesauce Cake with Butterscotch Frosting

ginger

butter (softened)

eggs (room temp)

butter

dark brown sugar

vanilla

Preheat oven to 350º. Grease a bundt pan well with butter getting into all the crevices. Lightly flour and shake out any excess.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Set aside.

Add butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture alternating with the applesauce, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the pecans and pour into the bundt pan. Even out the top so that it is level.

Bake for 55-60 minutes until a long toothpick or knife comes out clean. Let it cool on a rack in the pan for 20 minutes then invert onto a rack and allow to cool completely before frosting.

Add butter, brown sugar, salt, cream and milk to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Cook until the sugar has melted and a thermometer reads 225º, about 2-3 minutes. Pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer and allow to cool until it is warm but not hot, about 10 minutes,

Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat on high until it is smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add more powdered sugar or cream to get the consistency you need.

Once the cake has cooled, pour the slightly warm frosting over the cake allowing it to drip down the sides. Refrigerate for a few minutes to allow the frosting to set.
