How to Bake a Cake With Applesauce Instead of Oil

By classycook

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the dry ingredients and the liquid ingredients in separate bowls, then slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients little by little to help the ingredients come together smoothly without any lumps.
Step 3
Add a bit more spices and seasoning to your cake than the original recipe calls for; replacing oil with applesauce can dull the other flavors in baked goods.
Step 4
Check the cake often as it bakes. Expect the cake to cook more quickly than normally when you have replaced some of the oil with applesauce. When the sides of the cake start to pull away from the pan, the cake is done.
