Ingredients for Applesauce Cake Ob L Dunkes Kucha

  • Sifted Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

How to Make Applesauce Cake Ob L Dunkes Kucha

  1. **Make the Applesauce:** Wash, quarter, core, and pare 3 medium-sized apples (approximately 1.5 pounds).
  2. Place the prepared apples in a saucepan with 3 tablespoons of water.
  3. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally.
  4. Press the cooked apples through a sieve or food mill to create a smooth applesauce. Set aside to cool.
  5. **Prepare the Cake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom only of an 8x8x2-inch square baking pan.
  6. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
  7. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  8. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar to the creamed butter, beating until well combined.
  9. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time.
  10. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the cooled applesauce to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition.
  11. Stir in 1 cup raisins.
  12. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  13. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
