Allergy Free Ginger Applesauce Cake

Here's a simple cake that's not too sweet and smells of fall with the ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon.  It even has oats-which makes it a breakfast cake in my book.

Ginger Applesauce Cake

1/2 cup Earth Balance soy free

1/2 cup sugar

3 tsp egg replacer whisked with 4 T rice milk

1/4 cup real maple syrup

1  1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1  1/4 cup gluten free flour blend

3/4 cup quick oats

1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp cloves

Combine flour through cloves and set aside.
Cream Earth Balance and sugar well.
Add egg replacer mixture on low speed.
Then beat batter for 3-4 minutes on medium speed until it is fluffy and almost doubled.
On medium, slowly pour in maple syrup.
With wooden spoon gently stir in applesauce, alternating with flour mixture.  Stir until just blended.
Pour into greased 9 inch square pan.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
