Apple Cinnamon Poundcake (THM E, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Baking accidents aren't uncommon in my kitchen.  Saturday was one of those days for me, but this time it was a happy accident.  I went to the kitchen to bake my Pumpkin Poundcake with THM Baking Blend because many of you wanted to know if that would work in the recipe. I get almost everything in the bowl and BOOM...I cannot locate a can of pumpkin!  Are you kidding me?  I wasn't a happy camper at this point, but my brain starts spinning into overdrive to figure out what to do.  What can I swap for pumpkin?  Unsweetened applesauce came to mind pretty quickly and I kept pluggin' away.  The results left me smiling...BIG! applespicepoundcakeIngredients:
  • 2&1/2 cups THM Baking Blend
  • 3/4 cup THM Gentle Sweet (or another on plan sweetener)
  • 1&1/2 tsp aluminum free baking powder
  • 1 Tbs cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1&1/4 cups egg whites
  • 1&1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 12 oz unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 medium apple, chopped
*If you want to make a Crossover, you can add chopped walnuts and you could use 5 eggs instead of the egg whites. Directions: Pre-heat the oven to 300 degress.  Grease a 9 by 5 loaf pan with cooking spray.  You could dust your pan with THM Baking Blend or THM Oat Fiber. (mine came out fine without) I mixed the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another.  Combine the ingredients together and mix well.  Bake for about 1 hour. Baking times may vary. Serves about 12.  I'd eat a few slices if you cut it like I did. (once down the middle, then in about 12 slices across) applespice2Remember that this is a poundcake, not a light and fluffy cake.  This is much more dense and thick.  Mine turned out very moist!  I ate my cake warm out of the oven and after it had cooled.  I loved it warm, but it's truly good both ways.  I took it along to church for our weekly potluck and it was gone.  Yeah!

*Note- If you don't have Baking Blend, you could sub it out for Oat Flour.  (ground up oats)  I've substituted this many times in muffins/cakes and it works well.  This will keep your recipe an E and not mess up the fuel.  Use gluten free oats to make your flour if you want to keep this a gluten free recipe. applepoundcakeI hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving, friends!

    So was the original with pumpkin rather than applesauce? Want to share the difference? Just sub pumpkin for the applesause?

      I linked the pumpkin poundcake in the post. 🙂 It’s in the first paragraph.

    Do you happen to have a plain pound cake recipe? It was something I use to make on special occasions as a kid and would love a guilt free alternitive!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      I haven’t YET…but I’ll work on that. I just have this one and the Pumpkin.

  3. Shery

    Do you think that 12 oz of applesauce is about equal to 3/4 cup? Thanks. this looks soooo yummy….by the way..welcome back to the facebook group…have sooo missed you!

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      I’ve not tried to be able to say for sure if a chia egg or something would work.

  5. Jeanna Morgan

    Opps! I already like your page. I would love a really good blender—-Vitamix or Blendtec.

    The baking blend is FP…right? Sorry new to this. If I were to use the blend instead of oat flour, wouldn’t the carb count be lower? And perhaps I can have extra slice (or two), lol.

    I am just confused when you wrote “This will keep your recipe an E and not mess up the fuel” in regards to substituting with oat flour. If I use the baking blend, will it mess up the fuel type?

    Thank you.

    • godzgaljen@gmail.com

      Oat flour and Baking Blend work in equal amounts for each other. Oat Flour is an “E” ingredient and the Baking Blend is a FP and can be used in any setting. Yes, the carb count would be a bit lower if you used Baking Blend Hope that helps!

        I used homemade baking blend and I cut into 16 slices. How many slices do you suggest I can enjoy for my E breakfast?

        Kids all loved it!
        I am very patiently waiting for morning lol.

    I just made your apple cinnamon pound cake. When you say 12 oz unsweetened applesauce is this by weight (on a scale) or liquid. My cake came ou very moist but was delicious. Thank you for so any great recipes.

    I just made the apple cinnamon pound cake and it is very good. It came out very moist. Is the 12 oz unsweetened applesauce by weight on a scale or is it 12 oz liquid measure?
