Ingredients
Yield: 16 servings
- 1 1/2 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon each: baking powder, baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon each: ground allspice, ground cloves, ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) neutral oil
- 1/2 cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (185g) unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 (90g) unsifted powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional: cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon, for topping
Method
Prep the oven and pan. Warm the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper.
Stir the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cloves, ginger and salt.
Stir the wet ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, oil, Greek yogurt, and applesauce until smooth. Tip the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir gently with a spoon or spatula until a thick batter forms and no dry streaks remain. Tip the batter into the prepared pan.
Roast Roast until the cake is fairly firm when you press lightly on the center, 28 to 32 minutes. Lift from the oven and let cool completely on a baking rack for at least 1 hour. Take the parchment to remove the cake from the pan, then remove the paper and move the cake to a cutting board.
Make the icing. In a small bowl, use a spoon to stir together the powdered sugar, sour cream and vanilla extract; it will seem dry and thick at first, but keep stirring until it comes together as a smooth icing (if it still seems very dry, add ½ teaspoon of milk; if it is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar). Tip the icing over the cake and smooth it over the top with a spatula. If desired, top with a few grates of a cinnamon stick or a pinch of two of ground cinnamon. Before the icing sets
