Surprise Applesauce Cake Recipe

Surprise Applesauce Cake

From rosemaryblue 14 years ago

Applesauce, cocoa, and strongly brewed coffee make this one of the most delicious cakes! So very moist . It makes wonderful muffins too.

Whisk all the dry ingredients in a large bowl
With an electric mixer, in a mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until llight and fluffy
Add eggs, one at a time until fully mixed
Reduce mixer speed to low, adding flour mixture in thirds, alternating with the applesauce
Scrape sides of bowl, turning mixer to medium
Quickly add the hot coffee, beating until combined, about 30 seconds
Fold in by hand the raisins and walnuts
Pour batter into a greased and floured 6 cup Bundt cake pan OR pour into a greased and floured 9X13 baking pan
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes OR until a toothphick inserted in the center comes out clean
Place cake in the pan on wire rack to cool
Gently run a knife around the edge of the pan
Remove cake, cool completely
If making a 9X13 pan, cake will remain in pan
ICING
In bowl, place butter, coffee, in microwave until butter is melted
Meanwhile in another bowl, sift cocoa and powdered sugar
Make a well in the center and pour in melted butter and coffee
Whisk until blended and smooth
Pour on top of cake, spreading
May be served immediately
*If making muffins, pour batter into greased or paper lined tins
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes
