How to Make Sourdough Applesauce Cake
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup active sourdough starter, 1/2 cup milk, 2 cups all-purpose flour, and 1 cup applesauce. Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest in a warm place for 30 minutes to allow the sourdough to activate.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Optionally, add 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, or a combination of both.
- Gently fold the sourdough mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
