Apple sauce cakes
I’m realising that most of my sweet baking recipes skew towards the puritanical. There’s no perceived virtue in this, just where my tastes naturally land. If you’re searching for decadent, chocolate over-the-topness, I suggest you look elsewhere.
ingredients
- 60g butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup apple sauce
- 1.5 cup plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2tsp ground mixed spice
- 1/4 cup sultanas
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Stir together the cooled melted butter, brown sugar, egg and apple sauce until mostly combined.
Sift in the flour, baking powder and mixed spice and fold through the batter. Add the sultanas and walnuts and stir in well.
Pour batter into greased mini loaf tins (8 mini loaves or large muffin tin).
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes or until a toothpick emerges clean when pierced into the middle of a cake.
