Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups (375 grams) pastry flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (225 grams) light brown sugar
• ½ cup granulate sugar
• 1 cup (250 ml) vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 large apple, peeled and grated (Granny Smith or Ambrosia are best)
• 1 cup apple sauce
• 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla
• 1 recipe Brown Sugar Maple Frosting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 2 (8 inch) circular cake pans. Set aside.
2. On a large piece of parchment paper, sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars and oil. Add the eggs and continue whisking until the mixture becomes paler. Add the grated apple, apple sauce and vanilla whisk to combine.
4. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over the batter and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to blend.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched and a wooden skewer inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
6. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in th pans before inverting them onto wire racks to cool compellety. You mean need to run a shape knife around the edges of the pan if the cakes do not easily fall when first inverted.
7. Meanwhile, prepare the Brown Sugar Maple Frosting.
8. Transfer the cakes to a coating cake stand and use a large serrated knife to cut each cake in half on the horizontal to create four layers.
9. Place your first layer on a cake stand or plate. Use a large offset spatula to spread a generous helping of frosting across the cake layer. Place the second ayer on top and repeat the process until al the layers are frosted.
10. Continue to use your offset spatula to ice the top and sides of the cake. There's no need to make it super smooth as this particular frosting looks great with a few ups, downs and swirl-arounds!
