• Directions •
00:00 Intro
00:30 1. Create the Apple Sauce Batter
Whisk the applesauce, granulated and brown sugars, oil, eggs and vanilla together by hand in a large mixing bowl.
02:28 2. Sift the Dry Ingredients (And Why These Ingredients)
Sift the flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
04:18 3. Combine with the Batter
Pour sifted ingredients into the batter and whisk in. Whisk vigorously by hand for a minute until the batter is very smooth.
05:28 4. Prep the Oven and Bundt Pan
Preheat the oven to 325 °F (160 °F). Grease a 10-cup (2.5 L) Bundt pan and dust it with flour, tapping out any excess.
06:01 5. Pour the Batter, and Bake
Bake for about an hour, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake in its pan on a rack for 15 minutes, then tip it out to cool to room temperature before glazing.
06:49 A tip for why you should let the cake cool out of the oven!
07:40 6. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze
For the glaze, beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl by hand to smooth it out a little, then beat in half of the icing sugar. Stir in 3 Tbsp (45 mL) of the milk and the vanilla and switch to a whisk, whisking until smooth. If the glaze is too thick (it clings to the whisk), then add an additional 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of milk.
10:40 7. Glazing the Cake, and Serve
Pour the glaze over the top of the cake and chill uncovered until ready to serve.
13:28 Enjoy!
