- 2 teaspoons baking soda

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- ½ cup (120ml) neutral oil (e.g., canola, vegetable)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or a 9-inch round springform pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, neutral oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto the wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
