This was altered from a Land O Lakes applesauce cake recipe.
250 g flour
400 g granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1/2 cup oil
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup non-blackstrap molasses
Bake in 9x13 pan at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Comes out a lovely, sticky, moist dark brown. The cake was rather delicate when slicing, so it would not be suited for a bundt pan, and would probably be quite difficult to frost for a layer cake.
Next time, I'm going to try some more flour to see if it can't be made less soft, or replacing some of the granulated sugar for brown sugar.
