Apple and poppy seed cake with lemon

What is there to do on a Saturday that is more fun than baking a cake? The best part (for our wasteline) is applesauce is used in place of a butter.





Recipe taken from CIA:

3.5 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsps baking powder
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups applesauce
1 cup sugar
1.5 tsps grated lemon zest
2 tbsps poppy seeds

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with vegetable spray or coat it with butter and flour.

Sift the flour and baking powder together into a large bowl. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix the egg mixture into the flour until well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Place on a rack to cool completely before unmolding.
