MOIST APPLESAUCE BUNDT CAKE



Moist Applesauce Bundt Cake image

With its perfectly moist texture and soft crumb, this applesauce cake is a serious crowd-pleaser. Made with 1 1/4 cups yogurt and 1 3/4 cups applesauce, it will be one of the moistest bundt cakes you ever make. It's super simple, and it bakes beautifully and evenly every time. Notes: Sugar: Over the years many of you have asked if you can cut the sugar back in this recipe, and many of you have reported back with successful results. Some of you have used 1 cup, others have used 1.5 cups. Encouraged by you, I recently made the cake with 1.5 cups (330 g) of sugar, and it was a great success. That said, I promise you this cake is not too sweet with 2 cups of sugar. Teddie's apple cake, which is about the same size, also calls for 2 cups of sugar. Cinnamon: I like it this cake both with cinnamon and without. It all depends on your preferences. If you're in the mood for those warming fall spices, use cinnamon. If you're not in the mood for the spiced flavor, use vanilla. The texture of the cake will be divine no matter what spices you use. Yogurt: Geri, the woman who shared this recipe with me, uses Dannon plain nonfat yogurt, and her cake always came out incredibly deliciously. I get nervous about these things sometimes and can't keep myself from buying the full-fat tubs. I used Stonyfield whole milk plain. To freeze: Let the cake cool completely - this may take several hours from when you turn it out onto a cooling rack. Then wrap the cake in plastic wrap and tuck it into a jumbo Ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw overnight on the counter before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yogurt: For a rich and tangy flavor, use full-fat yogurt. You can also use Greek yogurt, but be sure to add an extra egg to the batter.
  • Use fresh applesauce: Fresh applesauce gives the cake a moist and flavorful texture. If you don't have fresh applesauce, you can use unsweetened store-bought applesauce.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Yogurt applesauce cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a tangy yogurt flavor and a hint of apple. The cake is also very versatile and can be decorated with a variety of frostings and toppings.
