At the risk of editorializing, few things in life are better than peanut butter and the rich, comforting, gooey pleasure it brings, which needs so little in order to be enjoyed - two slices of bread will do, or if you're feeling particularly indulgent and lazy, sometimes just a spoon.

Over the years I've created dozens of cake recipes, and this one consistently gets rave reviews: my favorite easy applesauce cake! The genius lies in mixing everything directly in the baking pan, which means you can have a tender, spice-scented cake in the oven in 15 minutes. The flavor secret isn't just the applesauce, though that keeps it incredibly moist and fluffy. It's the combination of Greek yogurt, olive oil, and cozy spices in that brilliant one-pan mixing method!
