How To Make This Cake

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8X8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.

• Let the Applesauce Pecan Coffee Cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to the cooling rack to cool down fully before frosting.

Cream cheese Frosting

• Using the whisk attachment, beat the room-temperature butter until it is light in colour, creamy and smooth. This may take about five minutes, so take your time.
• Add the cream cheese in a few chunks and beat after each addition.
• Add the powdered sugar in ¼ cup each time and beat well.
• In the end, add vanilla extract.
• Spread the frosting all over the Applesauce Pecan Coffee Cake and garnish with chopped pecans.
