Best Applesauce Cake









Ok I'm a huge fan of spice cake. Warm, rich, brown sugar infused happiness blended with cinnamon, cloves and spices. Soft, moist, fragrant and oh so delicious with tea! Omnomnomnom.

This cake was born when my huge backyard apple tree gave me a pile of apples a few years ago and I was lucky enough to have a pile of applesauce at my fingertips. So I invented this cake recipe as a happy, moist cakelicious applesaucey treat!!!!

1/4 cup margerine or butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup applesauce
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
dash salt
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice (I dont usually measure too close)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Grease two round cake pans, divide batter and bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out happy

Honey Ginger Spice Cookies


I love spice cookies with passion. And nothing begs to be made more for the cookie jar this blistery time of year than ginger spice cookies. Bursting with flavor and delicious beyond words, nothing compliments a cup of chai tea better :)


2 cups flour

2 3/4 tsp ginger

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp cloves

1/4 tsp salt

1 tea bag chai spice

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup margarine

1 egg

1/4-1/2 cup honey


Mix first 7 ingredients in one bowl, and the remainder in another bowl. Combine and refrigerate one hour. Heat the oven to 350. Roll into 1 1/4 inch balls and roll in sugar and space 2" apart on a cookie sheet ( I used air bake) Bake for 12 minutes and remove from oven while the cookies are still soft. Cool on pan and enjoy :)

This is such a tasty cake, so moist and tasty with all of the flavors that inspires one to think of fall time. Cinnamon, cloves, allspice and ginger permeate through the house as this treat is cooking making the experience all the more enjoyable. So grab a hot cup of cider or spice tea and enjoy.


1 1/4 cups flour

3/4 tsp allspice

3/4 tsp cloves

1/2 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup softened butter or margerine

1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt


Spray a 9 inch pan with pam, and set aside. Sift flour, spices, baking powder and soda. In another bowl cream sugar with margerine until fluffy, add egg and the honey, mix. Add half the batter to the dry ingredients, then add the yogurt, followed by the last of the batter and stir until well combined. Pour batter into pan and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 30-35 minutes or until done. Cool a little and enjoy!!
