A holy day favorite.

Every holiday needs a special treat, am I right? This Spiced Applesauce Cake is my kids’ “special Rosh Hashanah cake.” It was born out of a mash-up of my vegan Chocolate Applesauce Cake and a recipe in a book on the Feasts of Israel. From the very first time we made it I knew we had a hit! It’s the perfect blend of spices and sweetness, and the texture is sorta spongy – perfect for kids!

Though this recipe is an old favorite, I’ve updated this post with new pictures. I couldn’t help leaving one on from back when my daughters first helped me make this cake, though. They were just so stinkin’ cute! 

 
Typically, Rosh Hashanah treats use apples, not applesauce, but not this cake. A few of my little princesses don’t care for chunks of things in their cakes, so I opted for a more kid-friendly version with applesauce.
 
My little baking helpers loved it, with and without the icing. 🙂
