Ingredients

• 2-3/4 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 3/4 cup Evaporated Cane Sugar
• 2-1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
• 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
• 1-1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
• 1/2 cup Molasses
• 1/2 cup Oil lightly-flavored

• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 – 2 Tbsp Water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Oil a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together eggs, applesauce, molasses, and oil. Fold dry ingredients into wet until no dry flour is visible.
3. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before removing from the loaf pan.
4. To ice, whisk together powdered sugar and enough water to make a thick yet pourable mixture. Drizzle over the top of the cake and let sit for a few minutes to harden.
