This is my own low-fat recipe and I often use cubes of it to make a wonderfully light blueberry trifle, writes Joyce Grasby from Rochester, New York. She also likes to spoon fresh or frozen fruit or berries over each slice for added flavor.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the applesauce, vanilla and lemon peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture just until blended.
2. Transfer to an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 12 servings.
