  • Cooking Method: Baking
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup low-protein butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Smile! Cake is coming soon.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the low-protein butter and sugar until fluffy, using either a whisk or hand mixer on medium speed.
  3. Add in the applesauce, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. It might look a little funny, but trust the process.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth. Dance if you feel like it.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round baking pan. Level the top with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. No peeking!
  8. Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience, my friend.

Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Swap applesauce with mashed bananas for a different fruit twist. Try almond extract instead of vanilla for a nutty aroma.
  • Garnishing Options: Top with sifted powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a drizzle of low-protein chocolate syrup.
  • Cooking Tips: Ensure your oven is properly preheated before baking. For extra moisture, add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the batter.
