Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar 2-3 minutes until smooth and pale.
  2. Add pumpkin puree and beat to combine.
  3. Add applesauce and beat to combine.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time. Then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  6. In a separate bowl, toss apples with a bit of the flour mixture. (This will keep them from sinking in the batter.) Set aside.
  7. Gently stir remaining dry ingredients into wet ingredients by hand, only mixing until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in diced apples.
  9. Grease indicated number of 8x8 baking pans pan generously with cooking spray or oil. Pour batter evenly into prepared pan.
  10. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes (skewer inserted in the center should come out clean). Check cake half way through cooking time. If the top is browning too much, spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and cover.
  11. Cool cake 10-15 minutes in the pan. Gently run a spatula or butter knife along the edge of pan and carefully invert onto a wire cooling rack. Cool completely.
  12. Sprinkle cake with powdered sugar. Cut into individual slices and serve.
