Excuse the date on the pictures... I put in fresh batteries and forgot to enter in the current date!
Applesauce Spice Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t cloves
1/2 t nutmeg
3 eggs
1/2 c oil (did you notice the antique measuring cup? It belonged to my grandmother!)
1 1/4 c applesauce
1/2 c chopped nuts (I used black walnuts that my FIL gave me!)
Blend all ingredients together in a mixing bowl by beating on medium for 2 minutes. Scrape bowl and beat 30 seconds more. Pour into 2 round pans that have been prepared with shortening and flour. Bake at 350 for 38-40 minutes. Let cool. Frost with your favorite vanilla frosting to which 1/2 t cinnamon has been added.
I used unsweetened applesauce since the cake mix is already sweetened. This makes a rich cake that only needs frosting in the middle and on top!
Looks delicious, Terri! How are you feeling?

Your cake looks delicious and what a great way to bribe people to read books. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a measuring cup just like yours. I like that it doesn't have metric on it and that it has 3 spouts.
Yummy! You even decorated it so Fall like, nice!
