Applesauce Cake
This is a favorite recipe of mine. The cake is moist, lightly spiced and very easy to make. I shared it with friends yesterday and they loved it. The applesauce adds moisture and flavor.
I used butter in the recipe, but if you used coconut oil instead, the recipe would be vegan. Actually, any oil would work in this recipe, if you don’t want to use butter. The spices work so well together. Sometimes simple is the best. Before someone asks, it is not a misprint, there are no eggs in the recipe.
I wish I remembered where this recipe came from. I have a piece of flowered stationery, a little crinkled around the edges, creased from being folded many times, with the recipe written on it. It is not my handwriting. I would love to credit the source of this wonderful recipe.

This cake is so simple to make and very tasty, too. You don’t have to limit yourself to just eating applesauce. You can also bake with it. This cake is a fun way to enjoy applesauce, homemade or store bought.
