Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1-1/2 cups fat-free milk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon butter flavoring
  • 1-1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • GLAZE:
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, applesauce and oil until well blended. Beat in the milk, extracts and butter flavoring. Combine the flours, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended. Stir in poppy seeds.
