SPICY GINGER APPLESAUCE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This simple sheet cake is packed with three kinds of spicy ginger: fresh, ground and crystallized. The cake is delicious on its own, but cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of crystallized ginger push it closer to dessert. The cake can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated and brought to room temperature before serving. The crystallized ginger should be sprinkled on just before serving as it will weep in the fridge.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch glass or light-colored metal baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light, about 1 minute. Add applesauce, oil, fresh and ground ginger, orange zest, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder, and whisk until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped candied ginger.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on a countertop to release air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack.
- When the cake is cool, make the frosting: Add the cream cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Turn the speed to low, and slowly add the confectioners' sugar. Mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer speed up to medium-high and whip until smooth. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the ginger, lemon zest, vanilla and salt, and mix on low.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake in dramatic swoops and swirls, then sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup crystalized ginger on top. Serve at room temperature.

SPICY APPLESAUCE CAKE
This is my favorite applesauce cake! I use our home- made chunky applesauce when apples are in season. If needed, put in food processor to break up big pieces and drain as needed. This is a yummy, moist cake. Add a dollop of whipped cream or creamy frosting and it becomes an even better dessert.

Tips:
- For a smoother applesauce cake, use a food processor or blender to puree the applesauce until it is very smooth.
- If you don't have any applesauce on hand, you can make your own by peeling and coring 3-4 apples, then cooking them in a saucepan with 1/4 cup of water until they are soft. Once the apples are soft, mash them with a potato masher or fork until they are smooth.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. The best way to do this is to use a kitchen scale. If you don't have a kitchen scale, be sure to spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
Spicy Applesauce Cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is easy to make and can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand.
