Provided by Renna

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg Duncan Hines® Moist Deluxe® Butter Golden Cake Mix
3 large eggs
1 1/3 cups applesauce
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 °F. Grease and flour 10-inch Bundt® or tube pan. 2. Combine cake mix, eggs, applesauce, melted butter and cinnamon in large bowl. Beat at low speed with electric mixer until moistened. Beat at medium speed for 4 minutes. Stir in walnuts. Pour into pan. 3. Bake at 375 °F for 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 25 minutes. Invert cake onto serving plate. Cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Also delicious using chopped pecans instead of walnuts.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients and preheat the oven to the specified temperature. This will help ensure that your cake bakes evenly and turns out perfectly.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar: This is an important step that helps to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and fluffy cake. Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Adding the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Folding in the dry ingredients: Fold in the flour mixture gradually, in three additions. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming tough.
  • Baking the cake: Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your cake pan, so keep an eye on it and adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Cooling the cake: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and the cake from falling apart.
