APPLESAUCE WITH CRANBERRY LOAF CAKE



Applesauce With Cranberry Loaf Cake image

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.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 55m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup thick unsweetened applesauce
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup craisins (dried cranberries or use raisins)
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter (or cooking spray) and then line bottom of loaf pan with parchment and butter the paper.
  • Beat butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg.
  • Stir baking soda into applesauce.
  • Mix dry ingredients, theen add to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with applesauce.
  • Stir in Craisins (and walnuts if using).
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes (or until toothpick test passes).
  • Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes then turn out onto rack.
  • Make glaze by mixing lemon juice and confectioner's sugar and spoon glaze over cooled cake (this step is optional if you are not using it as a dessert).

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe apples: This will ensure that the applesauce has a good texture and flavor.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help to remove any unwanted parts of the apple and make the applesauce smooth.
  • Use a variety of apples: This will give the applesauce a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Add some cranberries: Cranberries will add a tart and tangy flavor to the applesauce. You can use fresh or frozen cranberries.
  • Add some cinnamon: Cinnamon is a classic spice that pairs well with apples and cranberries. You can use ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.
  • Sweeten the applesauce to taste: You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten the applesauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Cook the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency: You can cook the applesauce for a shorter time for a chunkier applesauce or for a longer time for a smoother applesauce.
