The delicious finished applesauce cake!

National Applesauce Cake Day

Applesauce cake became popular during World War I and was promoted as patriotic because some ingredients were limited at the time. Applesauce is great substitute for butter because it adds the natural sweetness and moisture to any recipe.  I tried this recipe and loved it! The flour can be replaced with gluten free flour if you have a gluten allergy and it tastes just as delicious.  This applesauce cake takes one hour to complete including the preparation and baking time. It is so good you will want to make it year round, not just June 6th!
