1/2 cup molasses
1 cup applesauce
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1-3/4 cup flour
1 tsp ginger
Mix the molasses and applesauce in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bake in a nonstick 8 x 8-inch baking pan or one sprayed with a non-stick spray, in a 350° F for 30 to 45 minutes, or until it tests done.
**The batter may be a bit dry and you may need to add more applesauce or a bit of water. Try adding 1/4 cup of applesauce first then gradually add a bit of water by tablespoon**
We have added a bit of pure cocoa (2 tablespoons) to make a chocolate flavor.
This cake is much more like a banana bread. May try baking it as so next time. Very heavy batter. Good, autumn-y flavor to it. I liked it, it just didn't have that cupcake WOW factor I'm looking for.
