Equipment

8-inch Square Pan

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt regular, light, or nonfat
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (. Make a well in the center and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until just blended.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean or with little moist bits clinging to it.
Cool the cake, in the pan, on a wire rack (cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar)
Sift the powdered sugar over the cooled cake, cut into squares and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
