Moist Applesauce Snackin' Cake Recipe Is a One-Bowl Wonder by 30Seconds Food
Feel like having a fresh-baked snack? Or maybe a homemade cake? This easy applesauce snack cake recipe is the best of both worlds! This tasty snack cake recipe is moist, delicious and easy to make and bake. It is reminiscent of that vintage Snackin' Cake from Betty Crocker. Remember that? Snackin' cake was a box cake mix that was introduced by Betty Crocker in 1972. Unfortunately, it was discontinued in 2012. The mix was mixed, baked and served in the same pan and came in coconut pecan, banana walnut, chocolate almond, chocolate chip, applesauce raisin, chocolate fudge, spiced raisins, and dates with nuts.
While Betty is still keeping that cake mix away from us, we can enjoy this easy applesauce snackin' cake. Moist and full of apple flavor, this delicious applesauce snack cake dessert recipe requires only one bowl when mixing it up. Simple goodness! To make this applesauce cake recipe you will need all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, allspice, applesauce, vegetable oil, an egg, and optional chopped nuts and powdered sugar.
Serve this apple cake for dessert with homemade whipped cream or ice cream, or as a sweet snack with a cup of tea, coffee or milk.
