Old Fashioned Homemade Applesauce Cake.

"If you make your own homemade applesauce than this is the cake recipe for you. Using store-bought just will not work ( I tried, very dry and hard result). But with the homemade this is a very moist, delicous and versatile cake, I have served it plain sans icing, iced it with my grandmothers butterscotch icing or vanilla or cream cheese icings, all with rave reviews. So if you've got a couple cups of left over applesauce give it a try!"

  1. Very good cake. I made half the recipe as it otherwise would be too large a cake for us. Baked it in a 9x5x3 loaf pan and it needed 1 hour 10 minutes in the oven. <br/>You said in the recipe description that it was useless to bake the cake with store bought applesauce, well I kind of disregarded that and used store bought anyway. If the cake would be a failure I knew it was completely my own fault. But-store bought applesauce worked perfectly! The cake was moist and not hard at all. Maybe the applesauce here is different.<br/>Anyway, a very good cake with lots of flavour.<br/>Thanks for posting.<br/>Made for PAC, Spring 2011.
