<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd cup brown sugar (packed)<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 teaspoon baking soda<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon baking powder<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon salt<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 teaspoon cinnamon<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd teaspoon nutmeg<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bc teaspoon ground cloves<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd cup unsalted butter, melted<\/p>\n
\u2022 2 eggs<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 \u00bd cups unsweetened applesauce<\/p>\n
\u2022 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00bd cup raisins (optional)<\/p>\n
Instructions<\/p>\n
Step 1: Preheat and Prep<\/p>\n
Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
\nStep 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/p>\n
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients<\/p>\n
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the melted butter, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Mix Everything Together<\/p>\n
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the cake dense. If using nuts or raisins, fold them in at this stage.
\nStep 5: Bake to Perfection<\/p>\n
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Cool and Serve<\/p>\n
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy it as is, or add a glaze for extra sweetness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
