01 - 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
02 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
04 - 3 large eggs
05 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
06 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
07 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# How to Make It:
01 - Heat oven to 350°F and grease a 9-by-13-inch pan. Whisk applesauce, sugar and oil, then add eggs one at a time and vanilla.
02 - Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt separately. Fold into the wet mixture only until dry streaks disappear.
03 - Spread evenly in the pan. Bake about thirty to thirty-five minutes, extending as needed until the center is set and a tester has no raw batter.
04 - Cool in the pan before cutting. Cover only after steam has escaped so condensation does not wet the surface.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 - Use unsweetened plain applesauce for the listed sugar balance. Chunky or sweetened products change the texture or sweetness.
02 - Once flour is wet, extra mixing can make the cake less tender. Scrape the bowl to incorporate hidden flour instead.
