Applesauce Cake

Applesauce Cake

 Introduction: It is one of my personal favorites. It is so soft. I love baking this because it is so easy. All the ingredients needed are always readily found in any  store.

Ingredients:

: 3cups of all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled,

: 2 teaspoon baking soda,

: 1 teaspoon salt,

: 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon,

: 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom,

: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature,

: 2 cups packed light-brown sugar,

: 1/4 cup honey,

: 2 large eggs,

: 2 cups basic Applesauce, or store-bought chunky applesauce,

: Non-stick cooking spray,

: Confectioners' sugar (optional).

Method:

 Step 1- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cardamom and set aside.

Step 2- In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and honey until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating until combined. With mixer on  low speed, gradually add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Beat with applesauce.

Step 3- Generally  coat a non-stick 9-inch tube pan with cooking spray. Spoon batter into pan; smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (but sightly wet), 50 to 60 minutes.

Step 4- Cool on a wire rack till 10 minutes. Turn out of a pan onto a cutting board or baking sheet; invert cake on the rack, top side up. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired.
