This Amish Applesauce Cake is a spiced, moist cake made with simple ingredients like applesauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It’s easy to make and doesn’t require frosting, but you can drizzle it with a simple glaze if you like. The applesauce keeps the cake wonderfully moist, and the spices give it that cozy, warm flavor that feels like home.

My mama used to make this weekly for us growing up. I’m so happy I found this recipe as it is very similar to her version, if not better
