How to Make Baby S First Applesauce Cake And Petit Fours
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x13 inch baking pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the applesauce, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the cake layers with your favorite frosting (recipe not included).
- Cut the cake into 16 squares (for halved recipe). A full recipe will yield approximately 32 smaller pieces though cutting that small may be difficult. The full recipe also yields 20 petit fours (recipe not included).
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy treat!
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!
