This easy, homemade and full of fall flavor Pumpkin Applesauce Cake comes from The Finest Recipes Cookbook (circa 1995) from First Baptist Church Huntsville, AL.
This pumpkin applesauce cake absolutely bursts with rich fall flavor. It is incredibly moist and perfectly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
What makes this autumn delight even more amazing is it is paired with this divine cinnamon cream cheese frosting from Chelsea’s Messy Apron. These two pack a mouthwatering one-two punch.
You can’t find an easier from scratch cake to make. I mixed it all by hand without dirtying up a mixer. Plus, the ingredients are simple ingredients, you probably already have on hand.
You will love the fact that this pumpkin applesauce cake is versatile. It will be perfect for your families fall gatherings, after dinner dessert and it transports easily, so you can take it to your annual autumn pot luck. You will also be the rock star of that ladies church breakfast or brunch. Your church sisters will be repenting from jealously and envy, wishing they had brought this autumn gem.
This pumpkin applesauce cake is sure to become one of your fall-bulous favs. This cake puts Betty (as in Crocker) in the corner.
