One-Step Spice Cake

Love this one because you can make it your own, by adding a fruit of your choice. I have added a banana, cranberries, blueberries, diced apples, chopped oranges, and blackberry jam. Dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle a glaze over the top. Mmmmmm-mmm! My husband loved it all. Then, I had to stop baking and we had to lose 20 lbs. Great for the holidays!


1 cup oil

3 eggs

3/4 cup applesauce

2 cups self-rising flour

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon allspice

1 cup chopped pecans


Combine oil, eggs, applesauce, flour, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and pecans in a mixer bowl; mix well. Spoon into greased and floured tube or bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Place the pan back over the cake, flip it and cover it for easy travel.
