Featuring simple ingredients like applesauce, cinnamon, and nuts, it’s easy to prepare and delivers rich, wholesome taste with every bite.

Why You’ll Love This Cake

  • Moist and tender crumb thanks to applesauce and a balanced mix of sugars.
  • Warm, cozy spices like cinnamon, cloves, and allspice create a comforting aroma.
  • Crunchy texture from walnuts or pecans adds a delightful contrast.
  • Option to include raisins for extra sweetness and chewiness.
  • Versatile: bake in a 9×13 pan or a bundt pan for a beautiful presentation.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 2 cups applesauce (unsweetened preferred)
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or a bundt pan.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars
    In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the white and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs
    Beat in the whole egg and the additional egg yolk until well combined.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients
    Stir in the applesauce and milk until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.
  6. Incorporate Dry into Wet
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on medium-low speed until just combined.
  7. Add Nuts and Raisins
    Fold in the chopped nuts and raisins if using.
  8. Bake
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes for a 9×13 pan, or 55 minutes for a bundt pan, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and Serve
    Allow the cake to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or frost as desired before serving.

Tips for the Perfect Amish Applesauce Cake

  • Use unsweetened applesauce to control sweetness and enhance natural apple flavor.
  • For a twist, try adding a pinch of cardamom or ginger to the spices.
  • Substitute walnuts with hazelnuts or pecans for a different nutty flavor.
  • Serve with a drizzle of caramel or apple cider glaze for an extra special touch.

This Amish Applesauce Cake is a wonderful way to enjoy the flavors of fall year-round. Its moist texture and warm spices make it a comforting treat that’s easy to make and sure to please family and friends.

Enjoy baking and savor every slice!
