Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just blended, being careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the cake batter into the prepared 9×13 inch baking pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened applesauce to control the sweetness level in the cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender texture.
  • Serving with a light dusting of powdered sugar enhances presentation but is optional.
  • For a spiced version, you can add 1/4 tsp ground cloves or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
