Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Lightly coat your baking pans with nonstick spray. You can use mini loaf pans, regular 9″ x 5″ loaf pans, or a bundt pan for this recipe.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and honey at medium-high speed until fluffy and smooth. Add the eggs and beat until combined.
  4. Add Applesauce: Mix in the applesauce, followed by the dry ingredients. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat just until incorporated.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pans (approximately 1 cup per mini pan or 3 cups per regular loaf pan). Place mini loaf pans on a cookie sheet for more even baking. Bake loaf pans for 35-45 minutes, or mini pans for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, wrap the cakes in plastic wrap to keep them moist. Store at room temperature for up to 7 days.
