I am HERE for this cake guys. You guys know the better side of the year is upon us- fall and winter. And today, it’s a solid fall recipe, super tender texture, and it tastes amazing. I won’t stop you from serving this apple cake with your favorite caramel sauce and ice cream.
Plus, it’s super easy to throw together. This apple cake uses unsweetened applesauce, which makes the whole thing quick. No peeling, coring, and slicing fresh apples- you don’t need to. And like, who wants to really. Applesauce creates a really beautiful texture and taste in the final product as well- no dry cake here!
We’re packing in a bunch of classic fall spices here. Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg bring the apple flavor to life, and keep the cake tasting warm and cozy.
I also just love bundt cakes in general. They’re pretty without any need for frosting or layering. Sidenote- I have an absolutely unreasonable collection of bundt pans. It messes up my entire pan cupboard, and I’m just living with that for now. I suspect that at some point I’ll literally have a spot dedicated to bundt pans.
So anyways, it’s a simple cake mixture, similar to a pound cake, with the addition of applesauce and spices. I served mine with my favorite caramel sauce and a vanilla whiskey ice cream. The recipe for that ice cream is my book btw!
It’s too easy to not make you guys, today is the day.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and generously grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the oil, sugar, and brown sugar until combined. Add in the applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Beat for about a minute, or until all the flour is completely incorporated.
Pour the batter into your prepared bundt cake pan. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool for about 20 minutes in the pan, then turn it out onto a plate to finish cooling.
Serve with caramel sauce and ice cream, or plain!

I’m ready you guys. As far as I’m concerned, it’s fall. We’re in it. There’s a lot of reasons that the second half of the year is my fav, not the least of which is that it’s basically baking season. Everyone bakes more starting right about now, and I’m absolutely here for it.

Remember that time I said we’d be on blueberries for a while? Still on it guys. I’ve been meaning to make a ricotta cake for a while now, and this is a great pairing of flavors!

Hey guys! I’ve got a vegan cake for you today and it’s something pretty dang special. It’s so good actually, and so simple, that I’ve been using it as my go-to chocolate cake recipe.
You can bake this into cake layers, into cupcakes, or into a loaf like I did here. No matter what, you’ll end up with a fluffy, super chocolatey, perfectly textured, vegan cake. I first worked on this recipe because I was looking for a great vegan option for a friend’s birthday. I did not expect that I’d use this recipe for anything and everything!

Strawberry Cornmeal Cake- sounds weird, but it’s soooo good. You might remember I made a cornmeal cake before, and it’s almost like a form of coffee cake. I mean, technically it’s not, but it gives you that similar feel of a very hearty, only lightly sweet cake. It’s a great breakfast cake, and if that’s not already a thing in your life, are you even living? I mean, let’s be honest, I’ll eat ANY kind of cake and call it breakfast cake, but this is more sensible.
