applesauce cake

Fruity spiced loaf

Applesauce cake is a moist spice cake made with applesauce as a key ingredient, which adds sweetness and keeps the crumb tender.

It typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins or nuts.

The cake became popular in American home baking partly because applesauce can substitute for some fat: Grandma's applesauce cake was a Depression-era staple.
