Applesauce Spice Cake
4 T. real butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. water
1 c. unsweetened applesauce
1 1/4 c. flour (use half whole wheat if you wish)
2 T. ground flaxseed
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. each nutmeg, allspice and ginger
Blend all dry ingredients together. Cream sugar and butter until smooth then add in egg, water and applesauce and mix well. Stir in dry ingredients and mix until incorporated and slightly fluffy. Spray an 8-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray and pour in batter, bake in a 350d oven 30-35 minutes, or until tested done.
This sounds really great. I’m looking for something early-fallish to make into cupcakes this week; I’m getting bored of the obvious vanilla. I bet this would pair well with a cream cheese frosting.
Sounds great!! I love applesauce cake 🙂
