Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white
1/2 cup dark molasses
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. In a separate bowl, mix applesauce with baking soda. In a third, large bowl, whisk eggs, egg white, molasses, brown sugar and oil until smooth. Add to dry ingredients and gently stir to form a smooth batter. Fold in applesauce mixture.
