Spiced Applesauce Cake
 |  |
|
Nonstick spray 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon table salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 cups light brown sugar 2 large eggs 2 cups no-sugar-added applesauce Powdered sugar, optional |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat together the butter and brown sugar in a separate bowl with an electric hand-held mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the applesauce, ending with the flour, being careful not to over-mix. Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 55 minutes. Cool completely before inverting. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if using. |
