Divvies Bakery in South Salem, N.Y., is famous for its peanut-free, tree nut-free, milk-free and egg-free products. The bakery, founded by Lori Sandler, whose son Benjamin was diagnosed with severe food allergies, sells its allergen-free baked goods online and through retailers, and many of its recipes can be found in “The Divvies Bakery Cookbook: No Nuts. No Eggs. No Dairy. Just Delicious!” This bundt cake is one of Ms. Sandler’s favorites. For a super-moist cake, add 4 cups of apples and 1 cup of apricot fruit spread. Serve this cake warm out of the oven for brunch, or it’s delicious served at room temperature too.

1 bundt cake; 12 slices
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray a bundt-style pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whip together the oil and sugar with an electric mixer, increasing gradually to high speed, for a total of 3 minutes. Add the applesauce and apricot spread and mix on high speed for another minute until creamy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on medium speed until well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and continue mixing. The batter will clump together.
- Add the apples to the batter and mix on low speed until well combined. Pour the batter (which will be very thick) into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the oven for 60 to 70 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Test the center of the cake for doneness with a toothpick; the toothpick should come out clean. The cake may take a bit longer to bake if the apples are particularly juicy, because the center will be extra moist. Turn the cake out of the pan onto a cooking rack immediately after removing from the oven.
