Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Applesauce (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the applesauce and sour cream, mixing until just combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake using a spoon or piping bag.
Slice the cake into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
