Applesauce Coffee Cake Recipe

This recipe for applesauce cake ranks highly among the applesauce recipes, in my opinion. The cake itself is very moist and delicious and sports a lovely combination of ingredients as its crumb topping. Served warm, it's a welcoming treat for any visitors.

I can attest to that because there were only three of us eating this little delight, and it was gone by the following day.

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts, but pecans would be equally delicious.)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 beaten eggs

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

• Preheat oven to 375°F and grease or spray a 9x9x2 inch pan.


• In a medium-sized bowl, stir together 3/4 cup of the flour, reserving the other cup for later use, and sugar.


• Cut butter into the dry mixture, using either a pastry blender or two knives cutting in opposite directions from the middle.


• Reserve 1/2 cup of this crumb mixture for the topping, and stir in the chopped nuts and ground cinnamon.


• To the rest of the crumb mixture now left, add the other 1 cup of flour, plus the baking powder, baking soda, eggs, applesauce and vanilla extract; and beat until well blended together.


• Place the batter into your greased pan, and sprinkle topping over that.


• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, testing to make sure a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


• Serve warm...plain or with a little scoop of ice cream
