Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Spray a 9x9" square baking pan with vegetable spray and line it with a rectangular piece of parchment paper cut to fit the dimensions of the bottom of the pan with several inches on either side to hang over the edges. Spray the parchment paper with vegetable spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves, as well as ¼ teaspoon allspice, and ¼ teaspoon ground ginger , if using. Whisk to combine.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and add 1¾ cups unsweetened applesauce, 1 large lightly beaten egg and ½ cup canola or vegetable oil. Stir until just combined.
- If you're adding the mix-ins, stir in 1 cup walnuts and ½ cup golden raisins and spread into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then carefully lift the cake with the sides of the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
- You can frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or try this ermine frosting or just dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
