Description:
Adopted from a cherished recipe, this Applesauce Cake is a delightful dessert that I originally crafted in a bundt pan, though it only filled it halfway. Consider using a loaf pan for a more satisfying result. The listed bake time is tailored for the bundt pan, so remember to adjust if opting for a loaf pan. Best enjoyed within the first day or two, as it tends to lose its moisture quickly.
