Got some leftover applesauce you are looking to use up?  This cake is AMAZING!  It is super moist and full of spices that just scream fall!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp Kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp allspice

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1  1/2 cups applesauce (I used leftovers from my Homemade Applesauce recipe)

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp vanilla

Glaze topping:

1/2 cup butter

2 tsp milk

1/2 cup brown sugar

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Next, cream together eggs and sugar.

Add the oil, vanilla and applesauce and mix well.

Add all the dry ingredients, including all spices.

Slowly and carefully mix until all the dry ingredients have been combined in the applesauce mixture.

Grease and then flour a bundt pan.

Pour the cake mixture into the bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from oven and flip out the cake onto a clean, dry service.  All to cool down.

While the cake is cooling, it is time to make the caramel glaze.   In a small sauce pan, melt the 1/2 cup butter (or 1 stick).  Add the 2 tsp milk and finally the brown sugar.  Stir until blended.

Place the cake on your serving plate and slowly spoon the caramel glaze down it, covering the entire cake.

Allow glaze to cool and serve!

I made my cake to share with my co-workers, who leave nothing behind!  But, if you were looking for a dessert for the family and this cake was too much for you, you can cut it in half and wrap the other half first in plastic wrap and then in foil and place in the freezer to thaw out and enjoy another time!
