Adding applesauce to a cake mix is it popular baking hack that you can go about in two different ways, depending on what you're trying to achieve. People looking to bake a vegan cake will substitute applesauce for eggs, using ¼ cup of applesauce for every egg. When using this hack, some people add ½ teaspoon of baking powder to lighten the cake and offset any heaviness from the fruit purée.
You can also make a cake recipe more nutritious by substituting applesauce for fat, and oil in particular. Applesauce can replace vegetable oil in chocolate cake, carrot cake, and other dense cakes at a 1-to-1 ratio. For lighter cakes like yellow and angel food, use a 1-to-1 ratio, but reduce other liquids by ¼ cup.
Regardless of how you're using applesauce, it's best to go with an unsweetened variety because sweetened apple sauces contain sugars that will disrupt your crumb structure. To prevent it from crumbling apart, make sure your applesauce cake is allowed to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into it.
