Reviews
Edible but not impressive. Self-rising flour plus 2 tsp. bak. pwdr. seems like too much leavening, but I went by the recipe. Also, think 8×8 pan is too small. It ended up quite dense, and the top cracked. Not much for flavor, and the applesauce was even cinnamon flavored. I would like to see another recipe that is somewhat comparible. Maybe I just had a bad day.
