APPLESAUCE WITH CRANBERRY LOAF CAKE
Base recipe was found in the All You Magazine but I've tweaked it to make it my own. This is a full flavored cake with a lemony glaze topping which I found to take this cake just over the top of expectations. Of course you can omit the glaze and just serve as a loaf cake for breakfast. The original recipe does not include nuts but I really enjoyed it with some chopped walnuts so I've placed that as optional to this recipe. It also called for raisins but I used Craisins instead. Please note it is very important to use a thicker applesauce for this recipe - using a thin commercial canned sauce can cause the batter to become too thin and not allow the cake loaf to rise properly while baking.

Tips:
- To ensure the applesauce cake is moist, use fresh applesauce and avoid using store-bought varieties that contain added sugar or preservatives.
- If you don't have a loaf pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish instead. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- For a sweeter cake, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
- If you want a more flavorful cake, add a teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to the batter.
- To make a streusel topping, combine 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter in a small bowl. Crumble the mixture over the top of the cake batter before baking.
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans over the top of the cake batter before baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
