Amish Apple Sauce Cake Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together melted light butter, extra applesauce, and sweetener until smooth.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- Slowly mix in the applesauce and almond milk until well incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
