Equipment
- 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1 box vanilla or spice cake mix
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prepare it for baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, cake mix, and eggs. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the ingredients until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan, ensuring a uniform thickness.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully baked.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
- Serve the cake plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar. Pair slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain freshness.
