How to Make Cinnamon Chip Applesauce Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup applesauce until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 ½ cups Hershey's Cinnamon Chips.
  5. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once completely cool, drizzle with your favorite cinnamon roll glaze (recipe suggestions below). For maximum glaze coverage, drizzle over slices of cake.
