Recipe Detail

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Oil a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together eggs, applesauce, molasses, and oil. Fold dry ingredients into wet until no dry flour is visible.
3. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before removing from the loaf pan.
4. To ice, whisk together powdered sugar and enough water to make a thick yet pourable mixture. Drizzle over the top of the cake and let sit for a few minutes to harden.
