12 servings
For the cake
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tipChoose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way. - 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
Ingredient noteCooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked applesauce in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid applesauce, tap it and change its rating to Red.
For the frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
For serving
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
