Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13-inch pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla and orange juice. Pour into the dry ingredients, whisk until combined, then fold in the chopped apples.
4. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, tenting loosely with foil around the 30-minute mark. It is done when a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
5. Cool the cake on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
6. Optional glaze: in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup (56g) butter, 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream and a small pinch of salt. Stir until the butter melts, then stop stirring and boil rapidly for 1 minute.
7. Reduce the heat to low, stir briefly and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup (60g) sifted confectioners' sugar. Let it cool and thicken for at least 20 minutes.
8. Spoon the glaze over the cake just before serving. If it has thickened too much, warm it in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir until smooth.
