Applesauce Cake with Butter-Rum Glaze image

Applesauce and cinnamon smell so good in the oven! And let me just say that this is a very moist cake and the rum flavored frosting combined with the cinnamon in the cake is just to-die-for. The recipe makes a small cake, perfect for small family dessert. Recipe originally from the Betty Crocker website.

Number Of Ingredients 13

CAKE
1/3 c butter
3/4 c sugar
1 c applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
GLAZE
2 Tbsp butter
1 c powdered sugar
1/2 tsp rum flavor/extract
3-4 tsp half-and-half or milk

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9" square cake pan.
  • 2. In medium saucepan, melt 1/3 cup butter over medium heat. Once melted, cook for about 2 minutes until butter just starts to turn brown. Remove from heat. Immediately add sugar, applesauce and vanilla, combining well.
  • 3. While butter is melting, in large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda and cinnamon.
  • 4. Add warm butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Combine well and pour batter into prepared cake pan.
  • 5. Cook 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • 6. Prepare glaze: Melt butter (in microwave or stovetop). Add remaining ingredients, combining well until smooth. Let cool about 5 minutes to allow some thickening; glaze will be slightly thin. Pour over warm cake.
  • 7. Let set about 30 minutes before serving. For nice garnish, lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon over frosted cake.

I'm not a big fan of applesauce, but I loved this cake. The applesauce added a nice moistness to the cake, and the butter rum glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

I substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream in the glaze, and it was still delicious.
