Ingredients

    CAKE:
    Flour, all purpose, 2.5 cup (remove)
    Granulated Sugar, 1.5 cup (remove)
    Orange Juice, .75 cup (remove)
    Vegetable Oil, .25 cup (remove)
    Applesauce, unsweetened, .5 cup (remove)
    Egg, fresh, 4 large (remove)
    Baking Powder, 2 tsp (remove)
    *Lemon Extract, 2 tsp (remove)

    GLAZE:
    Lemon juice, .5 cup (remove)
    Powdered Sugar, 1.5 cup, unsifted (remove)

Directions

In large bowl, combine all cake ingredients and mix on low until incorporated, then on medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour into greased/floured bundt pan and bake at 325 for 40-50 minutes. Do the toothpick test to see if it's done. Let cool for 10 minutes.

If using the glaze, mix the lemon juice and powdered sugar until incorporated and set aside. Take a long fork or the "wrong" end of a utensil and poke holes into the cake. Pour 2/3 of the mixed glaze over the cake and let it seep into the holes. Wait at least 10 minutes before turning out onto your serving plate, then drizzle with remaining glaze and allow to cool.

Serves 16 nice sized portions. The cake is fairly dense and quite satisfying.
