So right after my surgery my mom bought me a cookbook called "Recipes for Life after Weight Loss Surgery". I've made a couple of things from it, that are ok, but today I made this cake and it is absolutely delicious, so I wanted to share!
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup brown sugar substitute (I used splenda brown sugar)
2 eggs
2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger root (I used 1tsp ground ginger as I'm not a huge ginger fan)
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2cups unsweetend apple sauce
1 1/2tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 1 1/2 quart loaf pan (I used a 9x13 pan instead) with cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, allspice and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, eggs, ginger, applesauce, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture in thirds, stirring all the while with a wire whisk. Continue mixing until just smooth (Do not overmix).
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 50 min until a toothpick comes out clean. (Mine cooked for 35 min in the 9x13 pan)
Cool the cake for 30 minutes at room temperature before releasing it from the pan.

*Since I used the 9x13 I was able to cut 16 pieces, that are still equal to the 2oz serving.*
