Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup applesauce (e.g. Mott's Natural Applesauce)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup (packed) brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon (or to taste/optional) confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine applesauce, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl.
  • Add flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with buttermilk just until batter is moistened. Fold coconut and walnuts into batter. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Proper ingredient measurement: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients accurately, especially for baking. This ensures consistent results.
  • Fresh ingredients: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the coconut and walnuts. Fresh ingredients impart better flavor and texture.
  • Toasting the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunchy texture to the coffee cake.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients combine more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter and better texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan creates a beautiful and elegant presentation for the coffee cake.
  • Glaze the coffee cake: The glaze adds a sweet and shiny finish to the coffee cake. You can use a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk.
