- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light and frothy.
- Add applesauce, vegetable oil, and milk, stirring until combined.
- Sift in flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently fold into the wet mixture. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle walnuts on top if using.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve as desired. Enjoy plain, with powdered sugar, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Notes
