  • Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cabbage after shredding it. This will help prevent the cake from becoming too wet.
  • If you don't have any applesauce, you can make your own by peeling and coring 2-3 apples and then cooking them in a saucepan with a little bit of water and sugar until they are soft. Then, mash them with a fork or potato masher.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the cake to set.
