Fat-Free Applesauce Cake
"The ultimate antyime-anywhere cake, it tastes like an apple pie in a cake. I got it from Taste of Home Magazine. (This is the original--I make it w/out rasins or cloves and vanilla yogurt and no drizzle but it still comes out great either way!) Fantastic!"

I don't know if I did something wrong or not, but although it tasted great, the cake came out sort of rubbery in texture. This was the very first time I had ever used a silicone pan and I am wondering if it was that or a problem with under-/over-mixing, but we had a hard time even cutting the cake. It was weird. If I get the chance, I will try making it again in a regular pan and using some whole-wheat flour like the other reviewers. Made for Chef I Am's Cake-a-thon! (In memory of Tina.) -
I skipped the glaze. And made it much as Ladypit did. I used 1/2 c Splenda/no sugar and 50% whole wheat flour.Yummy cake with plenty of sweetness. The spices, apple and raisins make for a terrific, homey, Autumn cake. Thanks for posting this. Made for PAC, FAll '07 -
We really enjoyed this! I'm cleaning things out and had all these things in the house (except the raisins which I left out). I used 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup splenda, and 1/2 whole wheat flour. I did use the glaze though I had to add a whole lot more water to make it do it would go on the top of the cake. That said, this cake is moist with a nice spice taste. You would never guess it was fat free. Thanks so much!! -
5 stars without doubt. I made it for my stepmum and she absolutely loved it and had 2 helpings. She said she felt guilty about eating too much, but I told her not to worry too much because it is fat free and she could not believe it! The cake is moist and spicy, and I only added a quarter of a cup of sugar to the whole cake and it was still really sweet and tasted great! Definitely one of my favourite cakes will be making again and again xx
