Gingerbread Cake

1 ¼ cups whole-wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoons Baking powder
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground ginger
½ teaspoon Clove powder
½ teaspoon Ground yellow mustard
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup light molasses
1 cup warm water
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Sift the dry ingredients together. Whisk the applesauce, oil, molasses, water and egg together. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients being careful to not overmix. Pour the batter into a heart shaped cake pan that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick spray.

Bake the cake on the middle shelf, rotating the pan once during baking, until the center springs back to the touch and/or fork tines come out clean, approximately 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Serve with nonfat frozen vanilla yogurt or whipped cream and fresh strawberries or applesauce.
Yield: 8 Servings
