Applesauce: Not only does applesauce contribute to the cake’s moistness, but it also adds natural sweetness and reduces the need for refined sugars.
Almond and Coconut Flour: These gluten-free flours create a tender crumb and add a subtle nutty flavor that complements the apple and spices perfectly.
Honey (or Maple Syrup): A touch of natural sweetener enhances the apple flavor and adds a touch of sweetness without being overpowering.
Warm Spices: Cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg create that classic “apple pie” flavor that we all crave.
Cream Cheese Frosting (Optional): A dollop of homemade cream cheese frosting adds a decadent touch, but the cake is also delicious on its own.
