Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I love the scent of the oven warming up while I prepare the batter! In a large mixing bowl, combine the applesauce, vegetable oil, and sugar. Whisk them together until smooth. Then, add in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. This step creates a lovely airy texture that makes for a delightful cake. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
