An Easy Applesauce Cake Recipe Who can resist a simple, flavorful, homestyle cake just like Grandma would have made? It’s brimming with applesauce, generously speckled with warm spices throughout, there’s just enough sweetness, and it’s all balanced with a rich cream cheese frosting to polish it off.

Whisk dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice for 30 seconds. Make a well in the center and set aside. Separately beat sugars and eggs: To a separate large mixing bowl, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until fairly pale and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add remaining liquids: Add applesauce, vegetable oil and vanilla extract to sugar mixture and blend with hand mixer until combined. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour applesauce mixture into well in flour mixture, then gently fold and stir mixture just until there’s no longer streaks or pockets of flour.

Add to baking dish: Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Wiggle pan to level batter out even. Collage of eight photos showing steps of making applesauce cake batter in mixing bowls.

We actually love this cake cold and it can be enjoyed straight from the fridge, but if preferred you can bring to room temperature before serving. Another option is to freeze the unfrosted cake, wrapped in foil, for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Thaw then frost, slice and serve.

Can it be made without a hand mixer? Yes, if you don’t have a hand mixer you can also make this cake by hand using a whisk. You’ll just need to whisk the egg and sugar by hand for about 4 minutes until it’s fluffier. I like to look for an applesauce without added water for more apple flavor.
