How to cook deliciously - Five-Spice Ginger Cake

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

Mix flour, ginger, baking powder, orange zest, baking powder, five-spice, and salt together.

3. Stage

Mix applesauce and tea together in a separate bowl.

Beat eggs with 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very fluffy and light. Pour in oil gradually and beat on medium speed until combined. Alternate adding the flour and applesauce mixtures, mixing just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
