This apple sauce king cake is the ideal cake for using up apple sauce leftovers. It is a batter made from butter or oil, sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs and apple sauce, and it is baked in a king-size loaf pan. It is incredibly moist, and you really have to be careful not to eat it all at once. It tastes best when it has completely cooled down.
200 grams softened butter or 188 millilitres vegetable oil (e.g. Alba oil)
200 grams of raw cane sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
4 organic eggs, medium-sized

1 lemon, untreated, zest and juice
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
