We enjoy this cake as a snack, packed in lunches or as a scrumptious dessert when warmed and topped with a scoop of low-fat ice cream. If the batter seems really thick, don't worry: Once you stir in the apples it loosens up. -Cindy Beberman, Orland Park, Illinois

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced medium (2 cups)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Steps:

Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly coat an 8-inch-square cake pan with vegetable oil spray.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside.
Beat the brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 6 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, scraping down the bowl and beaters as needed.
Beat in the applesauce and lemon zest.
Whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture until no streaks of flour remain.
Stir in the apples and raisins (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs attached, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours, before serving.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients: Before you start baking, measure and prep all of your ingredients so that you can easily add them to the batter.
Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients combine more easily and create a smoother batter. You can easily bring your eggs and dairy to room temperature by letting them sit out on the counter for about 30 minutes before baking.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no more streaks of flour.
Use a bundt pan with a removable bottom: This will make it easier to remove the cake from the pan once it's baked.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to test if the cake is done baking. Do not over bake the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: The cake will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

This apple snack cake is a simple and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized with your favorite fruits and spices.
