Butter Rum-Glazed Applesauce Cake
Cake:
1/3 cup butter **
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
2 Tablespoons butter **
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon rum flavor
3-4 teaspoons half and half or milk
Heat oven to 350. Spray 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
In 1-1/2 quart saucepan, melt 1/3 cup butter over medium heat. Cook 2 to 2-1/2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until butter just begins to brown. Immediately remove from heat. Stir in granulated sugar, applesauce and vanilla.
In large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in applesauce mixture. Pour into pan.
Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
For the glaze: In 1-1/2 quart saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat; cook about 3 minutes or until butter just begins to brown. Immediately removed from heat. Stir in remaining glaze ingredients until smooth and spreadable. Pour over warm cake. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm.
**it is important to use butter in this recipe as it is the browned butter that gives this cake the wonderful flavor! Please don't substitute margarine.....it won't be the same!
