For an extra nutty flavor and texture, add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. Ensure your applesauce is unsweetened to control the overall sweetness of the cake. A bundt pan can also be used in place of a tube pan. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
