I know it&rsquo;s hot! I know you just want to lay by the pool. However, I&rsquo;m begging you to make this simple little applesauce cake with browned butter frosting as an afternoon treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&rsquo;t have to brown the butter if that extra step just seems like too much! The cake is so moist and full of spices, and the frosting is just a stir-together-and-pour situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love my simple <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/yogurt-cake\/\">yogurt cake<\/a><\/span>, this is another simple cake for your recipe archives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14.jpg\" alt=\"Square applesauce cake cut into 16 equal pieces.\" class=\"wp-image-79286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14-550x825.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-14-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake.jpg\" alt=\"Bowls of baking ingredients, like sugar, eg, and melted butter on a kitchen table.\" class=\"wp-image-79272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flour<\/strong>. One and a quarter cups (or 156 grams) of regular all-purpose flour. Do not use self-rising flour or whole wheat flour. I use regular bleached flour, but unbleached is nearly identical and will work, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Soda<\/strong>. Three-quarters of a teaspoon of baking soda.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Powder<\/strong>. One-quarter teaspoon of baking powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>. One-quarter teaspoon of fine sea salt. Please do not skip the salt, because it balances the sweet flavors of the cake and frosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cinnamon<\/strong>. One-half teaspoon of ground cinnamon. If you want to be very fancy, I recommend <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/43Sxbvw\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ceylon Cinnamon<\/a><\/span> because it&rsquo;s so floral and delicious, but honestly, regular cinnamon is totally fine!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nutmeg<\/strong>. One-quarter teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. I love <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FMh8aq\" rel=\"nofollow\">this nutmeg grater<\/a><\/span> that captures the nutmeg as you grind it, allowing you to measure right in the container.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Allspice<\/strong>. One-half teaspoon of ground allspice. It&rsquo;s a common ingredient in apple desserts, and I think you&rsquo;ll love it here. If you don&rsquo;t have it, omit it and add an extra quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg to make up for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong>. One-half cup (or 100 grams) of granulated sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>. One-half cup (or 110 grams) of brown sugar. It can be light or dark brown sugar, either work equally well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Applesauce<\/strong>. We need 3\/4 cup of applesauce for this applesauce cake! My preference is my <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/instant-pot-applesauce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">homemade instant pot applesauce<\/a><\/span>, but if you&rsquo;re going store-bought, try to find unsweetened applesauce! Regular store-bought applesauce has too much sugar for this recipe. Homemade applesauce or unsweetened jarred applesauce are your best choices here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. Four tablespoons (or half of a stick, 57 grams) of unsalted butter that we will melt for the cake batter. However, we also need an additional stick (113 grams) for making the brown butter frosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milk<\/strong>. One-quarter cup of whole milk, or any plant-based milk you like, as long as it doesn&rsquo;t have much sugar. I have used boxed Trader Joe&rsquo;s unsweetened soy milk for this applesauce cake recipe with great results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong>. One large egg, beaten.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong>. One teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for the cake and an additional 1\/2 teaspoon for the frosting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered Sugar<\/strong>. One and a half cups of powdered sugar (also called confectioner&rsquo;s sugar) for making the brown butter frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-applesauce-cake-with-brown-butter-frosting\">How to Make Applesauce Cake with Brown Butter Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F, and lightly spray an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-12.jpg\" alt=\"White bowl with flour and spices sprinkled on top.\" class=\"wp-image-79275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-12.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-12-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-12-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-12-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-22.jpg\" alt=\"Bowl with melted butter, egg, and sugars.\" class=\"wp-image-79276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-22.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-22-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-22-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-22-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Applesauce-Cake-22-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>2.
