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!
