Yield: 1 cake in a can
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 cup unsweetened applesauce; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional); 1/2 cup raisins (optional); Non-stick cooking spray; 15 oz clean, empty can (such as a large tomato can)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your clean can by greasing the inside with non-stick cooking spray and dusting lightly with flour. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or a whisk. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the applesauce. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared can, filling it about 2/3 full to allow room for the cake to rise. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the filled can on a baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the can for about 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the can to loosen the cake, then gently slide it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, slice and enjoy a slice of this delicious Applesauce Cake In A Can!
