I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dense. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

The cake was a little dry. I think I should have added more butter or oil to the batter.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less applesauce.

I'm not a huge fan of applesauce, but I loved this cake. The applesauce added a subtle sweetness that complemented the sourdough flavor perfectly.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this cake was to make. I didn't have any sourdough starter on hand, so I used the instructions in the recipe to make my own. It turned out great!

This sourdough applesauce cake was a hit with my family! It had a moist and tender crumb, and the applesauce gave it a delicious sweetness and tartness. I'll definitely be making this cake again.
