APPLESAUCE NUT CAKE



Applesauce Nut Cake image

This is a child's recipe taken from my son's third grade "cookbook" put together in school... Enjoy!

Provided by TeLand

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar, firmly packed
1 cup applesauce, canned
2 1/4 cups cake flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Cream shortening and sugar.
  • Add applesauce.
  • Sift dry ingredients together and gradully beat into first mixture.
  • Add nuts.
  • Pour into greased pan and bake at 325 degrees for one hour.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to make quick work of the crumb topping. Simply combine the flour, sugar, butter, and nuts in the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the crumb topping by hand. Just use a pastry blender or two forks to work the butter into the flour and sugar until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Be sure to use cold butter for the crumb topping. This will help the topping stay crumbly and prevent it from melting into the applesauce.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

Applesauce nut crumb cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of applesauce, nuts, and crumb topping makes this cake moist, flavorful, and delicious. So next time you are looking for a dessert to make, be sure to try applesauce nut crumb cake.
