Apple Snack Cake
Applesauce and buttermilk keep this simple cake moist and flavorful without adding a lot of fat.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large large egg
- confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Directions
- Heat oven to 350° F. Butter an 8-inch baking dish. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; set aside. Add the applesauce, buttermilk, butter, and egg and mix to combine. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out to cool completely. Dust with the confectioners’ sugar.
