Polish Applesauce Cake

5 stars! This is the best cake I've ever made and I'm not the greatest baker, but this is fool proof. It is so moist and flavorful with perfect texture. Great anytime of year and is quick and easy for entertaining. You'll get a lot get compliments with this one. This gets even better over time and will last awhile. I keep it on the counter covered with foil. Great for breakfast!
