A moist and flavorful loaf cake infused with warm spices and the natural sweetness of applesauce.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Lining with parchment paper makes it easier to remove the loaf later.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, clove, and allspice.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of the spices.
In another bowl, combine the applesauce, eggs, and melted butter.
Make sure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at 60 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling in the pan helps the loaf set and makes it easier to remove.
Slice and serve the loaf as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Serve with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
