Steps:

  • Combine applesauce, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for a successful cake. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients, if possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven is critical for a successful cake. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Resist the temptation to peek!
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the cake to set and will make it easier to cut and serve.
