How to Make Applesauce Streusel Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan or an 8-inch square metal pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Prepare the streusel topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
- Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan (if using).
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
