This Amish Applesauce Cake is a spiced, moist cake made with simple ingredients like applesauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It’s easy to make and doesn’t require frosting, but you can drizzle it with a simple glaze if you like. The applesauce keeps the cake wonderfully moist, and the spices give it that cozy, warm flavor that feels like home.
