Provided by Julie Clark

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter ((room temperature))
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 cup raisins
1 cup black walnuts ((or English walnuts))
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce

Steps:

  • Grease a 10 cup bundt cake pan generously with shortening, then dust with flour (or use our perfect cake release). Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar until well blended and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add the egg. Mix until blended.
  • Mix in the raisins and walnuts.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, salt, cloves , nutmeg and cinnamon.
  • Add the applesauce and flour to the butter mixture alternately, mixing well between each addition. Batter will be thick.
  • Add the batter to the pan by large spoonfuls and smooth out evenly.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when you touch it. The exact time will depend on the shape of your bundt cake pan. If it makes a thicker cake, it could take up to an hour to bake. Ours took 45 minutes in the Autumn Wreath Bundt Pan.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out on a cake plate to cool completely.
  • Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

APPLESAUCE CAKE

Applesauce makes this cake exceptionally moist. It's delicious on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you decide to use store-bought applesauce, choose one with a chunky texture.

Tips:

  • Use fresh applesauce for the best flavor. Fresh applesauce has a brighter, more vibrant flavor than store-bought applesauce. If you don't have fresh applesauce, you can use unsweetened store-bought applesauce, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Applesauce bunt cake is a delicious, moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a special treat.
