This cinnamon applesauce cake uses very simple everyday ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, butter, brown sugar, eggs and applesauce. There is a good chance you already have everything you need in your pantry :)
Have everything except applesauce? If you don’t want to leave the house to get it at the store, you’ve got 2 options: order applesauce on Amazon to have it shipped to your door or make your own applesauce using my easy applesauce recipe!
Making this amazing applesauce cake is really easy! All you need to do is mix the ingredients in one bowl, pour the batter into a Bundt pan and bake! This recipe is perfect for beginner bakers, there is really no way to mess it up! This applesauce cake always comes out so beautiful and tastes so good!
To decorate this applesauce bundt cake, simply sprinkle it with powdered sugar. No frosting needed – powdered sugar makes this cake look and taste complete!
Below is the picture of how the cake looks before it’s inverted. It’s hard to believe it’s the same cake :) Whatever you see on top becomes the bottom of the cake when it’s flipped over, and the top will be smooth and beautiful and sprinkled with powdered sugar!
This applesauce cake is baked in a full-size Bundt pan (10 to 12 cup capacity). If you want to make a small cake, you can halve the ingredients and bake it in a small Bundt pan (5 to 6 cup capacity). If you are using a half-recipe and a small pan, reduce the baking time to 45 minutes. Bundt cakes are so pretty and make great homemade food gifts!
If you don’t have a Bundt pan, you can also bake it in a regular rectangular 9×13 inch pan. Just bake it until the toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

I just made this today for our family. It was a BIG hit! Moist, sweet (but not excessively so), and delicious when warm. I love a cake I can serve without a need for icing! It’s great for trips to the lake, also!
I have a recipe like this but for a 9 x 13 inch pan so the ingredients are slightly less. I sometimes mix up the dry ingredients together and store it in a baggie so that when I want a cake, I just have to add in the wet ingredients. It’s even better if you add about 3/4 cup of raisins to it.
