Pound Cake

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5
minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the
applesauce, vanilla and lemon peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt;
add to creamed mixture just until blended. Transfer to an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf
pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until golden
brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10
minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 12 servings.
