1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder/diluted lemon zest
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or 9x9 inch pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, applesauce, butter, sugar, egg, and cinnamon. Stir the flour mixture into the applesauce mixture until just blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely, and frost with lemon frosting.
Very interesting recipe.....best I've tried so far! To make the roll thicker, cut into 2"x4" balls and then work the butter into the dough, being careful NOT to over do the butter! The little kids thought this was fairly quick and easy to make, and it might get easier the longer it is completed. To save butter, put the dough in your freezer and get rid of any that looks somewhat dry (like my oven, which had some yeast that I noticed all over). I also, to my knowledge, this is the first attempt at cinnamon rolls. Let it cool, stretch the dough, and punch it down a bit. I believe that the filling for these is thicker than the brownie cake I made and that perhaps it would be helpful to flour the inside of a of a gallon ziplock bag,push it down, into a medium bowl, then contents into a 9x13 cake pan lined with parchment paper
These rolls Existed During Buckeye Season 1990-91
