I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Pat Goff. This has been the traditional "first Birthday Cake" in our family, ever since. Cupcakes are mild and tasty, and a just right portion for children to play with.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
7 level tablespoons butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Mix baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
Sift the above ingredients with the flour. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until light.
Beat in eggs.
Add vanilla.
Fold applesauce into butter mixture, alternating the butter and flour mixture, beginning and ending with applesauce, until batter is smooth.
Fill cupcake cups 3/4 full .
Bake at 375 Degrees for 18 minutes. Cool.
Frost with Butter cream Frosting with 3 dashes of cinnamon added.
Optional Additional Topping: For older people, this is great with frosting topped with chopped nuts.
