Spiced Irish Applesauce Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 lemon, zest grated
  • 1 3/4 cups applesauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Apply a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray to a 9x9-inch baking dish in order to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
Mix together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl until well combined.
4
Combine egg yolks, butter, and lemon zest in the bowl with flour mixture until a smooth dough forms.
5
Mix together applesauce, cinnamon, and cloves in a separate small bowl to create a flavorful topping.
6
Press half of the dough into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
7
Next, spread the applesauce mixture over the dough in a uniform layer. Finally, top with the remaining dough.
8
Bake the cake in your preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color.
