APPLESAUCE CAKE RECIPE WITH CAKE MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust the racks to the center of the oven. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick spray. 
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat together the butter and brown sugar in a separate bowl with an electric hand-held mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the applesauce, ending with the flour, being careful not to over-mix. Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 55 minutes. Cool completely before inverting. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if using.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, applesauce and mix until smooth.
• Add spice cake mix and mix until just combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix together candied fruits, nuts, flour until nuts and fruits are properly coated.
• Stir this fruit and nut mixture (along with any excess flour) into the cake batter gently. Do not rigorously mix!
• Pour batter into 2 greased and floured or lined loaf pans (Dimensions: 8x4).
• Bake at 275 degrees F for about 1 hour 45 min or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean. Keep a close eye from the 1 hour 30 minutes point.
• Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely.
• Run a knife along the sides of the cakes and remove from pan.
• Enjoy as is or top with frosting, syrup or glaze. Enjoy!
