Ingredients
  

  • 2¾ Cups Flour 350 g
  • 2 Cups Sugar 418 g (1½ cups works too)
  • 2½ tsps Baking soda 13 g
  • 1¼ tsps Baking powder 5 g
  • 1 tsps Kosher salt 7 g
  • 1 tsps Cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsps Allspice Optional, just a pinch
  • 1½ Cups Unsweet Applesauce (400 g) or 1¾ (465 g) if not using tart cherry juice concentrate
  • ⅓ Cup Tart cherry concentrate 110 g if using. Can also use tart black cherry juice concentrate. I used Cherry Bay Orchards brand found in my grocery store juice isle.
  • 1¼ Cups Yogurt 323 g, I always use whole, full fat
  • 1 Egg
  • ⅓ Grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or other neutral oil
  • 1½ tsps Vanilla extract or paste

Equipment

  • 12 Cup Bundt pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325℉. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix applesauce, yogurt, egg, oil vanilla (and tart cherry concentrate if using). Add to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Pour into prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Mine have consistently been done at 48-50 minutes.
  6. Cool 15-30 minutes or longer. I let mine cool for an hour to avoid any disasters! Before unmolding, run a plastic knife around the center circle to loosen it a bit.
  7. To store cake, allow it to cool completely. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature up to 2 days. This flavorful cake may be stored in the fridge for up to one week or frozen up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature then warm gently in the microwave at 50% power until desired temperature has been reached.
