4:00pm applesauce cake

Even though I got home late from work last night and could have gone straight to bed, I somehow felt compelled to do something productive with myself. When one doesn't own a TV, baking becomes a sensible(?) option. Another 1-step too many time consuming recipe from Cooks Illustrated. The reward to losing 2.5 hours of precious sleep? - true deliciousness with amazing texture. The other half is impressed.
