Applesauce Cake image

Applesauce makes this cake exceptionally moist. It's delicious on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you decide to use store-bought applesauce, choose one with a chunky texture.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Fresh Apples: Fresh apples will give your cake a more flavorful and moist texture. If you're using store-bought applesauce, make sure it's unsweetened.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is cooked through.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
